Fresh install with XFce-svn ?

Heya,

I was distrosurfing (Zenwalk, Vector), and now came back to Arch.
My question is, how do I install XFce-svn ?

I had KDE running with 'pacman -S kde xorg nvidia' and adding hal and kdm to my rc.conf..
Can I install Xfce-svn with 'pacman -S xfce-svn' ? or how do I do it ?
should I use gdm or kdm ? or without any dm ?

Re: Fresh install with XFce-svn ?

pacman -S xfce-svn xfce-svn-extra (also xorg if u havent already done so).
if u know whats the purpose of each package if u select No when pacman asks for permission to install the whole list, u can choose to install (or not)each package seperately

Enable the unstable repo, and then do

pacman -S xfce4-svn

Re: Fresh install with XFce-svn ?

xfce doesn't dependon any display managers,
however; u will need to install sudo, and add ur users to it if u want the shutdown option on the logout thingy...

pacman -S sudo

and edit /etc/sudoers [i think]
