Guest kingli86 Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 during the installation, i only used cd1 it didnot ask for other cds, what are other cd for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NewMDKguy2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Er, Im assuming you picked the packages yourself since it didn't ask for more than one CD, could you clarify what you mean by 'the star screen like windows?' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I am guessing you are seeing a "DOS" like screen after you log in? And you have a command line thing that looks something like this: [kingli@localhost kingli]$ I would try typing this: startx Followed by hitting <ENTER> and see what this does, any error message from this, report back here :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ixthusdan Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 You really need to get the 2nd cd. Did you type "startx" to see what happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
