-To get a usable X11 desktop, all you need to do is type out these commands:+A basic dCore install consists of a kernel, an initrd file and a properly configured boot loader. This provides only a commandline interface. Perform the following steps to set up a basic graphic desktop, which can be modified afterwards as desired.
  
-tce-setdrive (to set the partion to contain the data-files)+Note the ''-r'' flag (eg. ''sce-import -br Xprogs'') may optionally be used to extract Debian ('*.deb') files in RAM when importing extensions. The ''-b'' flag ensures newly created SCE extensions are automatically loaded at boot time.
  
-"r" flag: extract .deb´s in RAM; "b" flag: load package when booting the system.+  *Run ''tce-setdrive'' to specify the partition to be used for dCore's data files. 
 +  *Run ''sce-import -b Xprogs'' to install software needed for dCore graphics.      
 +  *Run ''sce-import -b xorg-all'' to install all X.org graphic drivers  
 +    *Optionally review [[http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:xorg-video_driver_packages#dcore_xorg-_specific_driver_installation|dCore Xorg-<specific> Driver Installation]] for specific drivers. 
 +  *Run ''sce-import -b wbar'' to install the wbar program launcher. 
 +  *Run ''sce-import -b flwm_topside'' or ''sce-import -b flwm'' to install Fast Light Window Manager. 
 +  *Add a desktop boot code to the system's boot loader (eg. desktop=flwm or desktop=flwm_topside). 
 +  *Reboot system into a graphic desktop.
  
-sce-import -rb Xprogs+In most cases the above steps will result in a good working system, if not try [[http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:faq#help_i_followed_the_documentation_but_can_t_boot_into_graphics|installing kernel modules for graphic drivers]], reboot and test. As outlined, additional customization, such as [[http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:xorg-video_driver_packages#dcore_xorgconf_example|xorg.conf file installation]], may be needed to tweak monitor resolution. Review the relevant [[http://www.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/README/|READMEs]] for additional information.
  
-sce-import -rb wbar +**[[http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/dcore:welcome|> Return to the dCore Wiki Welcome page]]**
- +
-sce-import -rb xorg-all (Xorg is a big package for RAM, but it shouldn't be a problem) +
- +
-sce-import -rb flwm_topside +
- +
-And then you have to restart, as the boot-parameter for the window-manager has to be written to your system first. Though this will probably not be needed in the future, and you will just have to configure Xorg, and type "startx" to start Xorg. +
- +
-It will be easier in the future, but for now, join us in making it easier! +
-Learn as much as you can! +

-So read the relevant [[http://www.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/README/|readme´s]]+
