yum install trinity-tdebase

Installing the entire Trinity desktop (about 600 MB disk space required):

yum install trinity-desktop

Installing the entire Trinity desktop + all Trinity supported applications (about 1200 MB disk space required):

yum install trinity-desktop-all

4. (Optional) Install your locale translation package, e.g for French translation

yum install trinity-tde-i18n-French

Koffice translations:

yum install trinity-koffice-i18n-French

K3B translations:

yum install trinity-k3b-i18n-French

Note: you can obtain a list of available TDE packages with the following command:

yum search trinity-

5. (Optional) Sets TDM as the default display manager

Edit or create file: /etc/sysconfig/desktop Add/modify the line:

DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/trinity/bin/kdm

Save the file then reboot your computer.

7. (Optional) Install missing XINE codecs

By default, the Xine libraries provided with RHEL/CentOS cannot play some formats like MPEG1/MPEG2. As a result, Kaffeine cannot playback video DVD (among other problems). In order to add the missing codecs, you must install the "xine-lib-extra-freeworld" package, by typing the following command.

For CentOS? 6 (i686):

yum install http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el6/i386/xine-lib-extras-freeworld-1.1.18.1-1.el6.nux.i686.rpm

For CentOS? 6 (x86_64):

yum install http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el6/x86_64/xine-lib-extras-freeworld-1.1.18.1-1.el6.nux.x86_64.rpm
