Slackware Post Install Question
 
I just installed slackware on an old laptop, and everything went fine. I need to know how to get into KDE or whatever Graphical Environment after startup. All I get is a text command prompt, even after I login and everything.

type in: startx

this will launch a WM... if you need to switch windowmanagers.. run the command : xwmconfig

You can set your system to auto-load KDE/Gnome/WM-of-choice by changing your runlevel to 5 in /etc/inittab with the "initdefault" variable

Slackware uses runlevel 4 for the graphical login.
