Did you installed the x windows system?
check it like that:
dpkg -l x-window-system
also
dpkg -l kde
if they are not installed, install them like that:
apt-get install x-window-system kde

another problem developed. i have stable installed. when i got it
installed it wont let me into the graphical interface due to the fact

chose the vga driver option but then i chose the colors as 24. now it
wont boot into the grap

Hey Eric,
Can you tell me where I can find a backpack CD drive. I know I could

All good solutions that I hadn't thought about. Thanks guys.
