kde, startx on debian
Hello :-)!
I installed Debian (I downloaded it on may 2009 so it is new version) from CD. I run it and see only text console. I try to type "kde" or "startx" but it doens't recognize those commands. That's difficult for me to believe that Linux from CD doesn't contain graphical interface so I guess it simply must be other command than what I typed. How to enter graphincal interface?
What I see at startup of console:
Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 debian tty1
Linux debian 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP ...
mainacc@debian:~$
And yes, I know that Ubuntu is easier in use.
By the way (this is minor question), after installing this Debian I decided that I am in a hurry and I run Mandriva LiveDVD. However, I cannot copy any files from pendrive to already existing partition with Debian. Is there any way to enable access from LiveDVD Mandriva to Debian ext3 partition? I don't want to delete Debian :-) and I cannot download any other distribution because my internet is terribly slow :-/ and I need to do something rather soon :-).
Greetings :-)!

dh_movelibkdeinit
DH_MOVELIBKDEINIT(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation DH_MOVELIBKDEINIT(1)
NAME
dh_movelibkdeinit - move libkdeinit4_*.so from public to the private directory
SYNOPSIS
dh_movelibkdeinit [debhelper options]
DESCRIPTION
dh_movelibkdeinit is a helper program which moves all installed usr/lib/libkdeinit4_*.so kdeinit "shared" executables from the public
location to the private subdirectory /usr/lib/kde4/libkdeinit. libkdeinit*.so shared executables are not proper public shared libraries by
definition and they are built as shared library only for performance purposes.
Please note, however, that in order for the moved executables to work properly, the following conditions must be met:
o the package should depend on the kde4libs binary packages built with the "-DLIBKDEINIT_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/lib/kde4/libkdeinit" cmake flag
(enabled since kde4libs 4:4.4.0). dh_movelibkdeinit will try to confirm this condition and it will do nothing if it is not met.
o the source package was built with the "-DENABLE_LIBKDEINIT_RUNPATH=ON" cmake flag. This flag is enabled by default when building using
either CDBS kde.mk class or the debhelper kde build system which both as shipped in the 0.6.2 or later version of the pkg-kde-tools
package.
OPTIONS
-Xitem, --exclude item
Do not move libkdeinit4_*.so files that contain "item" anywhere in their filename. You may use this option multiple times to build up a
list of things to exclude.
