gmac Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 I have just installed suse on an old computer witha cd from a magazine hence no manual or anything. Installed much more easily than mandrake except I didn't specify the graphical desktop. Before I reinstall to see where I went wrong How do you get the GUI from the black screen?

gmac Posted May 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Startx it is. Now all I have to do is work out how to change the screen sttings so I can read it. The installation seemed a lot esier than with mandrake in that all the hardware was picked up o.k., with mandrake i had problems with the monitor settings. I need the manuals-I gather they are better than mandrakes. as a non computer type i prefer to sut and work my way througha decent manual so I can get working. Thanks for the help.
