I had done apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment then startx gives an error along the lines of : "startx: unknown command." Now I have also done apt-get install gdm apt-get install gnome <wait a long time> then, on boot gnome starts, I get a login window, do log in, but am only given a blue screen without anything!!!
