No Desktop

[Guider]

did I just have bad download?

Probably not. Two things you can do:

1) New try: Boot knoppix (this time don't boot into mode 2) and install it on the hd using 'sudo knoppix-installer'

2) it shouldn't be a problem to install an X-Server and KDE (or whatever windowmanager you like). If you have a fast internet connection you can use 'apt-get install xfree86-common'. If you want to install kde then type 'apt-get install kdebase' (probably this will also install xfree86-common if it is not already installed as it depends on X11).

I install it like that, using sudo knoppix-installer, but some files I still get IO/errors

Do you have AIM or YIM something? because everytime I post here it takes years to get a reply, and even longer for ME to reply


Anyway...... When I installed it, I booted it up and I got to the graphical part but there was no desktop so I restarted it..... at lilo I typed something like "Linux(2.4)-1 desktop=fluxbox" and it just went to a bash shell as root and I typed "startx" and I got a LOT of crap come up.... it couldn't start it basically, with reocurring errors

And, this laptop with the knoppix on isn't on the internet so..... yea
