YDL 4.0 to Gnome 2.8

[Henry A. Leinhos]

Garnome doesn't necessarily replace your installed GNOME.  The config file 
(gar.conf.mk) has a variable used to set the base directory for the new 
GNOME (e.g. main_prefix ?= /usr/local/src/gnome2.8 for my build).  You then 
simply launch into the new session (after setting some PATH and other 
arguments). I built 2.8 on my YDL4 box without too much trouble (I had it on 
my 3.0 box as well), and I certainly like 2.8 better. 

YMMV
