Title: Adding a GUI to microcore
Post by: str4ng3r on July 11, 2012, 04:02:47 PM

Hi guys.

I found this distro and got very interested in it, since it allows me to install a fairly custom version of linux in my old machines.
I'm building a few scripts to set the OS as I want, but now im stuck on the installation of a GUI.

I know i need to start by installing a display manager. I want the lightest one possible, and then would like to install and setup E17 on top of it.

So, first, what is the lightest dm available and how to install it?

Thanks.

I don't think we have any DM in the repo right now. But setting up a GUI does not require a DM, see the wiki page on adding a gui to microcore.

I'm sorry.

The wiki didnt worked for me. Followed it like a recipe and got stuck with a cryptic error:

[error]
ls: /usr/local/tce.menu: No such file or directory
panel 4.4
hsetroot[2052]: segfault at 88 ip 08049cb4 sp bf90e1a0 error 4 in hsetroot[8048000+400]
[/error]

 :-\

PS: going at it again... maybe I missed something. Btw, do i really need to follow all those steps?

PS1: Ok! Finally done. It turned out i was missing some important details.   ;D
