[newbie] I Just Installed Slackware...?
And of course I finally ( after 3 hours of trial and error ) installed it to my PC.. Although loosing all my Windows files and all my personal files sucks, I am glad it is now done... However.. now, when I boot I get to my linux screen and I log in with root and my password.. then it comes up just terminal style...
I dont know how to start the "windowed" environment.. I went through the full 5.7gb setup and I chose KDE out of a list of 6.
From this command line I can enter basic terminal commands, but I am a total newb and this is a whole new world to me lol
Any help on how to get started with a fresh copy of slackware installed is greatly appreciated, feel free to Email me
Also, I know this cant be right because I also choose to install games, audio players, ect.. that came with the full install

The command to start X11 along with KDE is:
*drumrolls*
startx
Please do not run startx as root as it causes stuff to break. If you don't know how to make an user account, the command is: adduser
