Installing LXDE in Fedora 16

Installing LXDE in Fedora 16


I used the Add/Remove software application in the Gnome desktop to install LXDE desktop.
From terminal: yum install @lxde-desktop

I used Add/Remove software application to install KDE Login Manager.
KDE Login Manager is not needed, as GNOME manager now has option to change desktop.

I used yum to install system-switch-display-manager-gnome.

I ran the system-switch-displaymanager and used KDE manager.

Restarted X.

Selected LXDE from login manager.

On VirtualBox 4.1.8 on mac, use fn+host+f1-f6 to switch virtual terminal. f1 has first GUI.
