Installing & Removing MATE Desktop in Fedora


Hi
Kindly note the commands for installing MATE.

1) Adding the Repository
yum install http://dl.dropbox.com/u/49862637/Mate-desktop/mate-desktop-fedora/releases/16/noarch/mate-desktop-release-16-5.fc16.noarch.rpm -y

2) Installing the Desktop
yum groupinstall MATE-Desktop -y

I am saying to suffic -y so that you need not say yes to every question the terminal ask you.
That's it, MATE is available on your PC

To remove it is much more simple, just one command

yum groupremove MATE-Desktop

Fedora cleans every bit of the MATE...
 
Thanks and Regards
Ever Yours

  1. This is not getting applicable in Fedora 20. Once installed MATE does not get removed

    I have installed Mint Menus and made it also usable
