Hi, Installed Gentoo from he 2-CD using stage 3 and GRP. Emerged KDE from disk 2. What do I need to do to get KDE to run on start-up? Thanks . . .

Code:

nano -w /etc/rc.conf

And set DISPLAYMANAGER to gdm(Gnome display manager) or kdm(KDE display manager), it doesn't matter which, it's just a matter of preference. Then do this to get it started on every boot:

Code:

rc-update add xdm default

Then to start it without rebooting:

Code:

/etc/init.d/xdm start

Every one of those commands should be run as root.
