Uh, did you not extract it and enter the extracted directory before beginning?

Here''s an entirely-explicit set of instructions for you. If you enter this exactly as-is at a terminal and have the correct utilities installed (see "What do I need to install GARNOME?"), it should work.

cd /tmpwget http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/garnome/download/garnome-0.27.1.tar.bz2bunzip garnome-0.27.1.tar.bz2tar xvf garnome-0.27.1.tarcd garnome-0.27.1cd meta/gnome-desktopmake install

And then you wait a while for it to download and build all of the pieces of Gnome. Feel free to replace /tmp with something else, I just needed to pick a directory I was sure you had and could access as any user.

thanks

do you know how to put the version number bar at the side of the pop up menu? thanks, it installed, im just going to fallow the rest of the instructions on the garnome website to try to finish it.

I''m not sure exactly what you mean. Are you talking about the Gnome panel modifications that Red Hat and Ximian make to their releases? I think that that change is at the source level. I''m not exactly sure where to get an easy-to-apply (source) patch, but I''m sure you could dig one up if you really wanted to.

You''re not meant to type that into a terminal directly (although it should work if you removed the first line, which is there to specify which interpretter to use). That text goes in a file and you set the file as executable. The script will be interpretted by the shell when it is executed that way.

does it matter which file? i did right click and open scripts but nothing came up. what i meant by the side bar is when you click on the foot, the K, or the red hat, whatever is in the left..a popup menu comes up that says games, network, search ect, to the left of those, usually it says something like, "KDE 3.1" its sideways though.

There is no particular file it needs to be, no. Open a text editor, paste that text into it, save it as garnome-session anywhere in your home directory (somewhere out of the way), and mark it as executable (through your file manager or at the command line with chmod a+x garnome-session if it''s in the current working directory). You should then follow the rest of the instructions on the GARNOME page if you''d like to log into GARNOME using your garnome-session script.

It does not "usually say" anything horizontally on the left in any non-customized Gnome 2.x release I''ve used. As I said (as I''d guessed what you meant correctly), Red Hat and Ximian (among possible others) both modify their Gnome panel releases to do that as far as I can remember.

There are already some binary packages for Gnome 2.4... i''m using it on Debian right now... got it from some unofficial repository.

and mark it as executable through your file manager

What would be a file manager in linux?

Nautilus (default Gnome file manager), Konqueror (default KDE file manager), ROX, Velocity (alternative Gnome file manager), Xffm (default Xfce file manager), Gentoo (not to be confused with the distribution of the same name), Midnight Commander (terminal file manager), et cetera...
