dCore Desktop Quicky
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.
- Run
tce-setdrive
to specify the partition that will 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 dCore Xorg-<specific> Driver Installation for your specific system.
- Optionally also run
sce-import graphics-$(uname -r)
if the system fails to boot into graphics after applying these steps.
- Run
sce-import -b wbar
to install the wbar program launcher. - Run
sce-import -b flwm_topside
orsce-import -b flwm
to install a FLWM (Window Manager) variant. - Add the correct desktop=* boot code to the boot loader being used (eg. desktop=flwm or desktop=flwm_topside).
- Restart the system to boot into a graphical desktop.
