first time linux run


Hi linux folks,

I just installed mulinux, and the first time I ran it, there was a screen that asked me if I want to configure a list of packages. I said no to all of them. But then I typed startx and the system didn't recognize that word.

I guess I must have missed configuring X11 or something. So the question is how can I re-run the "first-time-startup-program". Alternatively, any method to get the system to recognize "startx" would be welcome.

Thanks for the help,
-T

why don't you try to re-install them?
boot from the cd again and be sure to install X and a window manager
