| A basic dCore install consists of a kernel and an initrd file with an appropriate boot stanza. This provides only a commandline interface. Perform the following steps to set up a basic graphic desktop. | 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. |

| Note the ''-r'' flag (eg. ''sce-import -b -r Xprogs'') may optionally be added to extract the Debian ('*.deb') files in RAM when importing new extensions. The ''-b'' flag used below ensures newly created SCE extensions are automatically loaded at boot time. | Note the ''-r'' flag (eg.

| Review the relevant [[http://www.tinycorelinux.net/dCore/x86/README/|READMEs]] for additional information. | 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.
