XFCE anyone?

[TheBigBasicQ]

Can anyone guide me to install xfce on my RH9 system? I have d/l it from the website. But after i untar it displays lots of .rpm files. How do i install these multiple rpms? i have installed single rpms whose dependencies are already installed. But I dont know how to install these rpms. Since when i try to install any rpm, the package manager tells me some dependencies havent been installed.

Am i making my question too complicated? =P

In the directory with the RPMs, run

rpm -Uvh *.rpm

as root.

Are you unable to start programs or do you want menus?

I think that that theme is part of the default install, just open the settings manager -> Window manager -> Decoration style.

Yeah, I wanted menus along with those icons on my task bar.

AquaX Gtk for XFCE is not a default theme. I need to install it. Here is the d/l link:

How do i install it?

Well, I have never installed a GTK theme before, but I would assume you would just have to copy the AquaX directory to

/usr/share/themes

.

About the menus, there is no way to import the menu that I know of. You will basically have to add each application to the toolbar.
