I am pretty new to Unix. I am running Solaris 8 on a Sun Ultra 5. I installed the Solaris 8 software companion cd which included the KDE desktop. I located the the KDE bin file that starts KDE, but I cannot find any setup files. I'm not sure if I need to run any setup files. It looks like all of the KDE files were dumped into a common directory. I do not see any tar or zip files. I cannot find any setup instructions for the installation, just using it. I get a bunch of X errors when I try to start KDE from the command line before logging into a gui. I tried starting KDE after I logged into CDE, but it starts in a seperate window and the menu items don't work. Is there a way to get KDE in the option list for the login gui? I installed the GNOME desktop from Solaris, and it works fine and is included in the login gui. If I get the KDE link into the login gui, would it boot? I am at work, so I do not have specific details at this time. If anyone could get me started ......
Im having the same problem with Free bsd unix and i want to setup my gui interface i have gnome and kde installed just want to know how can i configure it to work. Im pretty new with unix i know some stuff about it but i want to also learn how get into files and delete them and how to view logs.
Open up the terminal configuration file, /etc/ttys, in a text editor such as ee:
# ee /etc/ttys
Use the arrow keys to move down to the line beginning with ttyv8; press Enter to create a blank line below it, and add a new line enabling KDM, the KDE Display Manager:
ttyv6 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
ttyv7 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure
ttyv9 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure
# Serial terminals
Then press Escape and press Enter, and then press Enter again to save your changes and exit. Finally, reboot your computer by typing shutdown -r now. When your computer reboots, instead of the text login prompt, you should see a graphical login screen

Hi guys
I would like to install Red Hat Linux 4.2 on my old box (pIII). However there is a problem: i can't find the .iso image anywhere in the Net, all the material that i've found is (i think) an install tree of the OS.
It will be possible for me to install the OS from that install tree?
