[parisc-linux] Made it - Install GNOME on 712/80

[Jens Simmoleit]

Hi list,

I made it, there was the package gnome-session missing (lokks like I missed
that one, oops!)
Also I made a dpkg-reconfigure setlocale to C (was with POSIX??)
then I got into the profile and added export for locale and after that I
changed the .xinitrc to gnome-session
taaaadaaaaaa, works :-) at least I can login, superb....
BTW, sawfish gnome looks nice, is there another gnome you can recommend?
Also I'd be interested if it'S possible to better the performance of my gfx
system, anybody out there with a few tricks?

I'm so happy right now.......


Greets,
Simmel
