However, on the first boot after installation, I can not log on to
the
Gnome desktop. KDE works just fine. The interesting thing is that I
chose the customized install, and had Gnome checked, and KDE UNCHECKED.
Just in case I missed something, I have formatted the drive 3 times
and reinstalled, making SURE that gnome was selected, and KDE was not.
When I attempt to log in to gnome, the screen exhibits the same
behavior as if i choose the "restart X Server" option on the login
screen. Is anyone else experiencing this? Can someone give me the
command line option to verify that Gnome is even installed? (I'm a
linux newbie, so be gentle) Any assistance would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks,
