Re: Still cannot get gnome up and running

All that you have to do, is go to your home directory, and type this command

	echo 'gnome-session' > ~/.xinitrc

It's ok that the file is not there, this will make it. That should do it, if
X is properly configured (sounds like it is, if you can get twm up and going)
