Hello again!
I got two answers (written underneath this text) thank you both! Some ekstra
information: Yes, I have installed X, and I shall try to use "startx" (I have
no problems with that one), and THEN "gnome-session". (By the way, perhaps the
same metod has to be used for "startkde"? I had problems with that one too...).
I formerly used xdm/gdm, and it worked fine. But I sometimes want to use just
the command line. Another solution would be to have a program to let me choose
between kde and gnome by startup. Does someone know about such a program?
