It should not install.

I'm trying to install the 3D desktop on FreeSpire. I trying to follow the instructions here but things aren't working as expected.

First problem is with step one. I'm not understanding the point here. The reason I'm installing it, is because it's not installed, so trying to uninstall it gives me an error.

disable-xgl: command not found
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove libxfont which isn't installed.
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove fontenc which isn't installed.
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove libdrm which isn't installed.
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove xgl-cvs-jasp which isn't installed.

dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove xgl-config which isn't installed.
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove compiz-cvs-jasp which isn't installed.

The real question before I go on, is this the correct instructions to follow? Shouldn't I be able to do this through CNR?
For step one, you should be getting those warning messages as you haven't installed them. :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21051665 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 15:23:23 EDT 3D Desktop on FreeSpire http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21049558 Rexter : I'm trying to install the 3D desktop on FreeSpire.
