Gnome-core on Debian

linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I installed only the base debian package and during installation I did not select any of GUI window manager, laptop, or system utilities. So basically I'm running debian from command line, now I want to set up a GUI just for desktop. For this I tried installing gnome-core by apt-get install gnome-core But is shows gnome-core as a 400MB archive, is the core package so big? I don't want any programs just the basic desktop GUI and nothing else. My internet speed is slow and I can't wait for hours together for installing gnome. Is there any other way to do it? To install only the core package (HowTos)

Stories similar to Gnome-core on Debian

The installation of wheezy defaulted to the KDE desktop environment. How do I remove it and switch to GNOME 2 (the version that is used in stable)?

I fear that if I just install gnome-core, it will install GNOME 3. Can I just make sources.list point to an older version of some package?

I prefer GNOME 2 because it works well with bluetile (I don't want MATE, or other copies).
