To install KDE, u need to type "apt-get install x-window-system kde" from CLI and then, to get it running type "startkde" (this is presuming you have you monitor and graphics card drivers installed).
Hope this worlks Tom -----Original Message----- From: Geoffrey Lane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 November 2003 13:02 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: I'm a newbie and would like help configuring x and kde I'm a total newbie to debian and been using redhat for sometime now and it's worked fine. I have tried knoppix for sometime too and love the package management of debian and been thinking of switching but don't know exactly how to get kde/gnome, X setup and working because redhat basically does everything for you. The debian setup seems to end without configuring X or setup of KDE or gnome. I'd appreciate if someone could redirect me to a site, a newbie list or howto get it setup on my dell inspiron so that I can have a gui.
