I would reccomend the Debian install.... the Beginner install is the next best thing


This is a stab in the dark but I think you DCOP error is probably a permissions problem..try this:

***** FOR THE PURPOSE OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL WILL _ASSUME_ YOUR NORMAL USER NAME IS: chameleon *********
***** Please user your real normal user name in its place *********

Boot the system in Text Mode (Runlevel 2 ( "2" cheatcode)).. login as root.

issue the following commands:
Code:
chown root:root /tmp/.ICE-unix
chown root:root /tmp/.X11-unix
chmod 777 /tmp/.ICE-unix
chmod 777 /tmp/.X11-unix

chown -R chameleon:chameleon /home/chameleon
Sometimes all the permission do not get set correctly by the installer.

Take Care,
