I did see an error message when I tried using startx, but it went away too quickly for me to read. This is the name of the install cd I used: debian-8.4.0-powerpc-kde-CD-1.iso.

Sorry to hear about your troubles. The simplest way to report this kind of issue is to follow one of the last section of the install guide:
