Wouter,
I typed in everything exactly as you did. I assumed the EOF meant actually typing E O F so I did. As soon as I typed the EOF after the xfce it exited back to the command prompt.
When I type startx it says command not found.
When I installed xfce I let it install all default dependencies, so I don't know why it didn't install whatever startx is. I will look in dselect and see if I see startx.
What did I do wrong?
Tony

You don't start xfce by just entering it on the command line. Instead, enter the following on a command line:
cat > .xinitrc <<EOF xfce EOF startx
That should work.
