Hello.  Did you by any chance start the X server?  Dounds to me like its not
started or perhaps its not configured correctly.

> Hi all.

> Anyway, I seem to have everything installed (gnome and dependencies,
> gnopernicus and dependencies, xfree86-common and dependencies,
> ETC.). When the system starts, I'm told that gdm is being started, and
> then I get my standard login prompt. Then, something like this comes

> missing display, cannot find console dialogue

> I'm not sure if that's the exact text, since it's not on the screen for me
> to cut and paste here, but it's close to what it actually says.
>
> Could someone please enlighten me as to what I'm missing?
> Thanks.
