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 :-)!
