Gnome3 on Natty

[Amichai Rotman]

Hey Avi,

Thanks. I tried to follow, but I was missing git. I installed it, but when I
tried to follow further, I got an error regarding configure is run without
arguments, and then got an error the directory is read only and
'/usr/bin/gnome-autogen.sh: 506: ./configure: not found'....

How do I revert to Unity?

Re-install Ubuntu natty from scratch? It isn't such a big deal because my
/home is separate from the / partition...

I just want to run some kind of a post install script to install all the
current sources and packages, except the Gnome 3...

Is there a tool for Linux similar to "Create System Restore Point" on
Windows?


Thanks again,

Amichai
