Got a black screen after installing Salix OS Ratpoison (Slackware)
Just for fun, I just finished installing Salix OS Ratpoison Linux on one of my PC's and now when I log-in, I get a black screen with the following prompt: scott@Scott:~$
At the end of the dollar sign is a blinking cursor waiting for a command. My question is this; is this the Ratpoison screen or is this just a Slackware console screen? What should I do next? A confused Newbie. =) Thank you |
Did you read the Release Notes?

Ahh, yes. I typed in "startx" and that brought up Salix graphical wallpaper. Now I think I'm in the Ratpoison default desktop. Yes, I knew it was a newbie unfriendly distro to try but I wanted to try it anyway because I'd like to see how far I can get operating my computer without a mouse.

I like Salix Ratpoison a lot, and the documentation (release notes, Startup Guide, etc) is very good. Enjoy! :)
