The standard way would probably be to select "desktop environment" in tasksel directly after installing the base system (you can still run tasksel now). However this was you woulg get both Gnome and KDE which you probably won't need. Just run apt-get install kde x-window-system-core You will be asked for the configuration of the X server. You can rerun this dialog later by using dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps-sarge.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
