I managed to install it on my working system and = it was a fairly simple procedure. Now I need to restructure my system becau= se I've installed it as a desktop system, but want to use the system more l= ike a server (database & ruby & weka ). So I will need to deinstall all ins= talled packages like KDE4.1, Xorg, Firefox etc etc. Will still need to figure that out (assuming a pkg_delete -a is what I need= ) Brgds Dino=0A=0A=0A
