    DSL help.

    I burnt the ISO to cd and poped inside my computer and it loads. I type in dsl desktop= fluxbox and then the scary console apears. It detects hardware and stuff untill it does this:

    Xauth creating new authority file /home/dsl/.xauthority
    Xauth creating new authority file /home/dsl/.xauthority

    giving up
    xinit no such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to server
    xinit no such process (errno3): server error

    I just want to get to the GUI and as far away from the scary console as possible! (not in the linux spirit, I know.)

    Have you tried Puppy Linux? It is a bit more friendly than DSL and maybe it will work better with your hardware. I ' ve tried it on EeePC, 1 HP laptop and 3 different desktops and I had GUI on all.
