G'Day again, Got lunar installed but only have a command line login, I have given login name & passwd,., But when I type startx it says "command not Found"
Just wondering not that it matters ,but is it normally a graphical or command type login, as I am now thinking if I have messed up somewhere during Configuration?
AnyWay could anyone help me out on how I login as I have searched Docs & Faqs etc & cant find any tips. Thanks

Lunar doesn't come with X installed after installation, so you need to `lin XOrg` after first booting your system. Remember: lunar only comes with a very basic set of packages!

Thanks sofar , I didnt research hard enough I guess before posting. I found the other Lunar web site & found some info on XOrg etc & have started compiling. Waiting for results ,
I might install XFCE4 as my first desktop , I did get one error though when I tried "lin theedge"
"/dev seems to be defs ,do not install this module"" not sure why or what it means?

makedev is required for some machines but not yours. You can safely ignore this message.

it's usually a good idea to update first before installing - especially when the last iso is gettin a bit older already - for instance right now both gcc and glibc already are major versions behind.
