Having installed the Etch netinst. I was next looking to install KDE, and X.
I ran apt-get install kde, and a whole bunch of packages were installed, including some X packages. After these had been installed, I also did an apt-get install kdm, as I wasn't sure if it had been installed, and it hadn't been. Reboot, and no desktop. Obviously some X stuff is missing. Now I tried apt-get install xserver, which gave some options, including xserver-xorg-core, which is the one I went for, and at the same time installed xfonts-75dpi, and xfonts-base. Some time later, and many more packages installed, I rebooted. The reboot went ok, and I was able via KDM to login to KDE. The problem I'm having is when su'ing to root in KDE's Konsole. When su'ed to root on KDE's Konsole neither kwrite, synaptic, or gedit will open. Synaptic is on the K menu, and starting it there will open a window asking for the the root password, and entering the root password I can use synaptic as root, but trying to open synaptic as root on KDE's Konsole just fails. Output from trying to start gedit, kwrite, and synaptic on KDE's Konsole below.
