Are you sure you installed X? Log in as root, and try 'aptitude install kde' or 'aptitude install gnome' to get a working desktop environment installed -- they should bring X with them. If aptitude is not installed then either 'apt-get install aptitude' or use apt-get in place of aptitude. If they turn out to be already installed and still won't run, come back. richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
