to install the Gnome desktop use the apt package manager:
you either have to insert the DVD then or it loads the packages from the debian repositories (depends on the sources listed in sources.list), so make sure you're online.
after install it should either directly boot into the Gnome desktop or you will have to use startx (make sure you're logged in as root user).
Code: Select all
apt-get install gnome

Good call bad_brain but Linus Torvalds would have told him to "apt-get install kde" lolbad_brain wrote:to install the Gnome desktop use the apt package manager:you either have to insert the DVD then or it loads the packages from the debian repositories (depends on the sources listed in sources.list), so make sure you're online.Code: Select all
