Actually that is what I was trying to convey in my previous post...I press the
enter key and the system does it's thing, and when all is said and done, I
don't have a desktop. Maybe I am asking the wrong question....after logging
in, whether as the user I created or root, is there a command I need to invoke
in order to fire up the KDE?
Also, according to the software selection screen I am supposed to be able to
make multiple selections...for example if I wanted to install the Web Server,
DNS Server, FTP Server along with the desktop. How would I go about doing
that???
Maybe it's me but it just seems like this is something that should be clearly
detailed in the installation instructions.
Anyway, would you please enlighten me here?
I'm guessing you have command line thus:
$
If so type 'su' followed by the root password and then run
# aptitude
You will then be able to select kdebase and x-window-system-core ...
that should get you started with a desktop.
Once installed, hit Ctl-d to exit root
and then
$ startx
Good luck :)

Clive
