Re: xfce

[Tony Pitman <tony@shatalmic.com>]

Wouter,

I typed in everything exactly as you did. I assumed the EOF meant actually 
typing E O F so I did. As soon as I typed the EOF after the xfce it exited 
back to the command prompt.

When I type startx it says command not found.

When I installed xfce I let it install all default dependencies, so I don't 
know why it didn't install whatever startx is. I will look in dselect and 
see if I see startx.

What did I do wrong?

Tony
