installing a GUI

#1 Post by FReNsJ »

I just downloaded debian sarge, netinstall.

Just installed it normal. But now I want to install Gnome; here's wat I Already did

apt-get install xdm (while trying to installe xfree86)
apt-get install gnome-core (while trying to install gnome)
apt-get install gdm (another step in the gnome process :))

now, when I boot it says my X is not installed yet. How the hell should I do it then? (I'd prefere an apt-get install *** commando :))

To install X the command is:

Code: Select all

apt-get install x-window-system
To install Gnome I think it's just:

Code: Select all

apt-get install gnome

that could be so :)

but I want the system to be as clean as it could be, no games, no other software, just gnome :-) I read that's when you need gnome-core and gdm (gnome-core does not do gdm)
