new install 4.7.6 stops at text screen when booting

If you get a $, the boot did not fail.
Make sure /etc/sysconfig/tcedir is pointing at your persistent tce directory and install the GUI extensions.

Hi Alb

Now I have removed the dir TCE and ...

The tce directory contains the onboot.lst file that tells the OS which extensions to load. It also contains the subdirectory
optional where the extensions are stored. Without those you won't get a GUI.

...I installed the CorePlus from the ISO file on a memorystick.
...I did not install Extensions

The extensions are needed otherwise you'll only boot to a $ prompt.  Also a memory stick will almost certainly need the additional " waitusb=5 " boot code

Both the onboot.lst file and the directory optional were empty.
Has this something to do with step 6 where I took the second option Dont install Extensions?
I can not find the TCE/CDE directory. Can you explain what is meant by "The extensions you want installed"?
What are Extensions and where can they be found?

optional components, e.g. GUI

Hi Alb

Yes, because you chose a text based (command line only) environment rather than a GUI.

Agian I tried the installationpocess but no succes.

I do not get step 5 so I can not choose GUI and at step 6 I can not find a TCE directory to point to.

What am I missing here?
