Does anyone have any experience installng Gnome from scratch on
NetBSD? On my 1.5.2 system, many of the packages are behind the
versions in the most recent stable. I have had many applications like
the gnome control center and other things not work right, or crash
altogether and I'd like to see if moving to the most stable sources
would help. I'm running the most stable on Redhat 7.2 and it is rock
solid.
Also, I want to install Gnome 2.0 Beta and also have 1.4 Stable
installed and be able to choose which one to use when starting X. I
want to start developing Gnome applications and working on the
infrastructure and this seems like a good way to do this. Is anyone out
there doing this or knows if it can be done? The documentation for
Gnome in general is a little sparse. : (
Sorry if the above questions seem off topic for this list.
