Gah. Looking further, at the moment I don't see how (if at all) the
powerpc boot stuff passes through any of the kernel boot options to
specify a default task. Rick, what happens if you try with kde CD#1
right now? Does it actually do KDE, or does it still default to
Gnome?
I'm glad you're thinking of things here, it's been a while since
we've
had many people interested in ppc stuff like this! :-)
I'll try it.
Just to be clear -- What you want me to do is download and burn the
RC1 KDE CD#1 install CD.
Boot it.
Take the default "install" option at the "boot:" prompt.
Look at the /proc/cmdline from a text console during the install
process.
Wait til it gets to running tasksel.
Leave "desktop task" checked.
Watch and see what desktop it installs.
Report back here.
Right?
That's exactly correct, yes! :-)
Thanks for helping with this, it's great!
