No KDE = No GUI! Help!

**iamtheadman** · 03-11-2005

Hi.

I just installed Mandrakelinux 10.1. I did the 3CD install and it all went fine. It asked me for a fourth CD with KDE on it but that was nowhere to be found on the mirror sites. Now all I have is command prompts!

I'm a Windows guy trying this Linux thing out. How do I get a GUI on this system? I went to KDE's site and they had nothing for Mandrake.

Please help.
Thanks so much.

But that's just me

That would be fine with me too. I went to the site and had no idea what to download. Any help with that would be great.

Thanks.

Just reinstall mandrake with gnome selected.

So does that mean that GNOME is part of Mandrake?

GNOME is on Either Disk1 or Disk2. I installed the DLed version (3 CDs) and I use GNOME without a problem.

Thanks a ton guys. I really appreciate it. I'll post if it worked or not.

Anything else I need to know as long as I'm reinstalling?

In the install options I checked off all GUIs to install. When I setup a user, the only options I have are sh and bash. No KDE, no Gnome, nothing. What now?

Hmm. Wierd. You went into 'Graphical Environment' and checked GNOME and all of it's subpackages?

Did you not install Xorg?
