| 19 | <para>This chapter presents the instructions to install a complete
|
|---|
| [15d6378b] | 20 | GNOME-&gnome-minor14; desktop environment. The order of
|
|---|
| [09140ef] | 21 | the installed packages follows the build order defined by the GNOME
|
|---|
| 22 | development team and has been thoroughly tested by the BLFS team.
|
|---|
| [15d6378b] | 23 | You need to be building GNOME-&gnome-minor14; on top of a system
|
|---|
| [09140ef] | 24 | running <application>Systemd</application>.
|
|---|
| 25 | </para>
|

| 26 |
|
|---|
| [15d6378b] | 27 | <para>The installation of GNOME-&gnome-minor14; is a
|
|---|
| [09140ef] | 28 | large undertaking and one we would like to see you complete with the least
|
|---|
| 29 | amount of stress.</para>
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | <para>To install GNOME as your desktop of choice, it is recommended that you
|
|---|
| 32 | install using <option>--prefix=/usr</option>.</para>
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | <para>If your system was completely built per LFS and BLFS instructions,
|
|---|
| 35 | you have a very good chance of using
|
|---|
| [15d6378b] | 36 | GNOME-&gnome-minor14; after your first installation. If
|
|---|
| [09140ef] | 37 | you are a typical LFS user, you have made modifications to the instructions
|
|---|
| 38 | along the way knowing that you have to take those modifications into account
|
|---|
| 39 | on future installations. You should have no problems integrating
|
|---|
| [15d6378b] | 40 | GNOME-&gnome-minor14; into your unique setup, but you
|
|---|
| [09140ef] | 41 | will have to install well over 50 packages before you can run GNOME through
|
|---|
| 42 | any testing (assuming your windowing system is preinstalled and tested). You
|
|---|
| 43 | should anticipate that you will be rebuilding GNOME at least once to make
|
|---|
| 44 | adjustments for your setup.</para>
