This assumes you have the easy-debian package installed and already have debian installed in an ext2/3 partition.


After you run 'sudo debian' in the terminal:

Code:

apt-get install gnome-core gdm gnome-media gnome-system-monitor gnome-system-tools gnome-volume-manager gnome-utils gnome-app-install

Then duplicate /debian/usr/bin/xpice and call it something like xpgnome. Change the 4th and 5th lines in that file to:

Code:

export WMNAME="GNOME"
export WMEXEC="gnome-session"

Then duplicate /usr/share/applications/hildon/debwm.desktop and call it gnome.desktop .

Change the Exec line in that file to:

Code:

Exec=/usr/bin/hostwin GNOME 'sudo debian xpgnome'

And you're good to go!

A few notes: You may need to 'hack hal' to get gnome to install (I did). Refer to qole's instructions on how... If you don't have debian on a ext partition yet, you can download: http://qole.maemobox.org/debian-chro...040608.tar.bz2 and untar it on your ext partition. Also, don't forget to change /hom/user/.chroot to point to your new ext partition.
