I just installed crux 2.4. I am in the early stages of learning the package management, config file locations, etc. So, please be easy on me.
Welcome to the CRUX world!! Congratulations on a successful install!!
Where do I start?
At the beginning. :-) Sorry, I couldn't resist. If you only have a text based system so far and haven't installed Xorg yet, a good place to start would be: http://CRUX.nu/Main/InstallingX11R7
I did read the KDE page on crux website, but I had problems using the kdebase script. when I run :
# prt-get depinst --install-scripts kdebase
I receive an error that 'kdebase' could not be found.
Like Xorg, KDE is in a separate repo that isn't installed/enabled by default. I use Xfce myself, but a quick search on CRUX.nu turned up: http://crux.nu/Main/KDEPorts Which has a small section on performing an "Automated" KDE install, but it doesn't mention how to set up the KDE ports tree. You would do that basically the same way as you added the Xorg ports tree to your system above. You can find all the available repos, both official and user contributed, by clicking on the "Ports" menu link from any page on the CRUX.nu site. If you haven't checked out the "Post Install Notes" page at: http://CRUX.nu/Public/PostInstallationNotes yet, those are also helpful, especially the bit about adding a SourceForge mirror to your /etc/hosts file. Without it, most ports that depend on source code from SourceForge will fail to download the sources. Should that note perhaps be added to the handbook? Also, when trying to find info if you go to http://CRUX.nu and scroll down to the menu links at the bottom of the page there is a search link which can be invaluable.
