I don't think you need much space. What's the output of df -h?

I don't have my eee with me...I can check later but...it's a brand new one 4G and if I remember it well...the system and the softwares takes 1,5 or 1,8 G...

Many thanks for the fast reply

Well actually, I think I going the wrong way with this...

I'm use to strait too the point installation both in Windows & Mac OS and I feel completely overwhelmed by the Linux way to install a theme :-S

So, let me start over from the beginning.

I'm on Xandros Linux and I want to make it look like I'm in a Mac...

- Do I need to change it to Ubuntu?
- Does Garnome require me to have Gnome installed before?
- Let say I'm your mom and I want to do just that... Would you be able to give me a step-by-step description of the detailed procedure?

Think of me as someone more use to double clicking on a setup or Install icon then entering command prompt all over the system... I can understand the principals (I use to go and play in the autoexec to make my old PC games work in the 90's).

I figured out they wanted me to change the word "package" in the first line, the "cd package" thing was quite obvious since it works like the ms-dos "cd" command... But I don't have a clue what to do with that ./configure thing!

So... Is there hope for me :confused:
