Okay, by going to archives for this list I found the clues on how to run the automated kde install on a fresh potato with no desktop manager set up yet. Really impressed by how smoothly that ran compared to trying to use rpms on Red Hat. (Suggestion: put a short mention of how to invoke the installation in the debian.kde.net Webpages?)
Yeah, so then I do a startx and I've got a kde terminal on my otherwise grey screen rather than the default rxvt or whatever it was after getting XFree up. Umm, what's the totally obvious thing to do (if I'd ever set up Debian before) to have the system bring up the full kde screen? (Suggestion: put a short mention of this on the Webpages too and you'll about have the newbie angle covered - providing the newbie has gotten past similar bits of mystery in the initial potato install.) \/\/ I-I I T Blauvelt [EMAIL PROTECTED]
