ghost2003 Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 I just installed linux but every time I boot I only have a CLI. I tried all 4 different boot options(linux-interpris, linux-smp, linux and linux-nonfb) but they are all the same(exept for linux but all it has is a picture in th backgrond) I installed KDE and gnome so I dont know whats wrong.
