You need the MAXI edition on DVD - the CD edition doesn't have the space for KDE and all the other software. I guess the HD install basically copies all the DVD to your HD giving all the options you get with the DVD but since I've never installed to HD I don't know for sure.
You'll find the Leave button does not offer the options to Shutdown or Reboot :rolleyes:. I think that's because there is no KDM. I find kate and konqueror behave themselves - start them under LXDE and they always start in full-screen mode.
it is hd installl and i pretty sure cheat codes wont work then
You can create a file /etc/sysconfig/desktop with the lineand restart your Xsession. The script /etc/init.d/knoppix-startx will read that file and start the KDE session. Most probably you will need to change the permissions of the directory /var/tmp to 777 before you start your KDE session or you will be caught in an endless loop.Code:DESKTOP="kde"
should do the trick.Code:sudo chmod 777 /var/tmp
That endless loop thing, would that be like starting it up and having it say initiating start up over and over again?
and for creatin the file in sysconfg, do i just right click and new file?
You need to be root if you want to write that config file. I would suggest that you issue the commandin a terminal. Don' forget to save your file after you have written the line DESKTOP="kde".Code:sudo leafpad /etc/sysconfig/desktop
I received the error message "call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full ?).Check your installation" in a window with an OK button only. After having clicked on that button the KDE session terminated and restarted with the same error message. I searched the web and found the solutionSome solutions included the additional commandCode:sudo chmod 777 /var/tmp
but I am not sure if this step is necessary.Code:sudo chmod o+t /var/tmp
right on it worked, thank you. I'm just learning linux and i didn't find lxde too flexible
