I just did a Debian install and I boot to the non gui login. when I type in
the above, it tells me that xfree86 in not fully installed. In Taskel I
selected all the desktop items, and a few programs in dselect, but it seems
nothing was installed. This was after doing a reinstall and repartioning
the hd. How do I get xfree86 installed properly? at no point was I asked
what my default desktop should be. I want it to be gnome.
Thanks much!
John
