Re: how to install gnome ?

[David Aubril <david.aubril@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hum. In fact, there is no gnome-session binary package. So, I pkg_added 
a whole bunch of things ( gdm, gnome-desktop, gnome-menu, gnome-panel, 
etc. ). But still no gnome-session.
Well, i can try to build the rest from pkgsrc2006Q3, but if you say that 
they are broken on dragonfly...
