I am installing this from a dvd. I tried copying all the files (starting with KDE*) on the desktop & installing it, but still it doesnt work.

Please help me.

Thanks in advance

try using yum from a command line... it will automagically resolve the dependency issues. You could try yumex or pirut. They are both graphical overlays for yum.

Try

yum -v groupinstall KDE

In case errors appear please post the output here

[markkuk]

The command should be:

yum -v groupinstall 'KDE (K Desktop Environment)'

The quotes are necessary because of the spaces and shell special characters in the group name.

Following is the error I am getting when installing KDE UI

Disable the development, updates-testing, *debuginfo and *source repos.

[vishalbibra]

Can you please guide me on how to disable the development, updates-testing, *debuginfo and *source repos. Do I move them to another folder or do I rename the extension of the files

Can I install the KDE Development Environment from my DVD instead of going online. Do I need to make some changes in the repo files for it?

Please guide me as I am new to Fedora.

Regards
Vishal Bibra

[root@localhost Vishal]# gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-development.repo

Then:

[development]
name=Fedora - Development
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=rawhide&arch=$basearch
enabled=0
gpgcheck=0

[development-debuginfo]
name=Fedora - Development - Debug
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/$basearch/debug/
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=rawhide-debug&arch=$basearch
enabled=0
gpgcheck=0

[development-source]
name=Fedora - Development - Source
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=rawhide-source&arch=$basearch
enabled=0
gpgcheck=0

Repeat for all files in folder /etc/yum.repos.d/ that are named "updates-testing, *debuginfo and *source repos"
