I know there is a linlux forum but it isn't overly active so I am hoping someone can help me here.

I get to the logon screen and logon as admin User-root Password-xbox. Now from here what an earth do I do. I have Gentoox Pro edition, a keyboard and a mouse.

Cheers

What do you want to do? Do you have any familiarity with Linux at all?

i Just want to get to the desktop but I just get stuck at login. What do I do? WHat do I neeed to download?

I hvae no knowledge of linux, just trying to learn

linuxquestions.org is quite active as fas as forums go.

And to login you need to enter your login name and password. If you didn't specifically create one the login name is "root". I can't tell you what you chose for a password. From there startx should kick you into graphical mode. I'd recommend creating another user name as using root tends to be a bad idea. Too many things can be screwed up if you dont know what you're doing.

Best place to ask Gentoox questions: http://gentoox.shallax.com

Actually, its better to read (search) first...

Read the enclosed readme's in the package you got...

I know that home would be a better Idea but I can't download it (many different reasons)

I have posted in shallax and I keep getting replys like "use home" and "read tutorials" but I have already said I can't get at home and I have read the tutorials.

I just want a graphical interface. HOw do I get there? Please no read tutorials or download hoome replys

Please Help I spent too much money on keyboard and mouse to give up so near yet so far.

Gentoo is known to be incredibly difficult to get working on "special" hardware, like Mac's or Xboxes. I would suggest Xebian and a reinstall.

EDIT: I just remembered. Doi. Once you are at the command line (after logging in), type "XF86Config" and push enter. Answer the questions to the best of your ability. After that finishes, run "Startx" or "xwm" to get graphical.

Thanks man. Believe me I would be using xebian if I could download that version.As it is it took an overnight download of pro.

I'll give that a whirl cheers.

Didn't work, said something like bash command not recognized.

Im almost at wits end any other suggestions?

Please. Surely someone has set up Gentoox Pro and tell me a step by step command input just to get me going
