[gentoo-user] LiveDVD-11.0 questions

2011-03-20 Thread Hartmut Figge
Greetings,

| Keep in mind that Gentoo is a rolling release distribution, so the
| LiveDVD is primarily a means to check out if Gentoo is something for
| you, or just to quickly check out a different desktop environment
| than in your installation, etc.

Well, how to select these different desktop environments? :)

I'm thrown to KDE without a possibilty to choose another one except if
using the boot parameter nox, in which case i can use startxfce4.

Furthermore, connecting to my ISP would require the package rp-pppoe
which had to be emerged first. To do that an existing connection is
necessary... *g*

Just log out and select something else from kdm.
