As always, the new major release has some new features. Gnome CD Master (GUI frontend for cdrdao), Dia (program for drawing diagrams), GLiv (OpenGL image viewer), XRoar (Dragon and Tandy 8-bit computer emulator) as well as many command line MOD/MIDI players are now available out of the box. Gnubik (famous puzzle game) and GNU Backgammon have been added to the 4MLinux GamePack package (downloadable extension). Support for hundreds of old image formats is now provided by RECOIL (Retro Computer Image Library with its GIMP plugin). And finally, it is now possible to install 4MLinux on virtual KVM block devices (/dev/vda1, /dev/vda2, and so on).

distrohopping newb here, how do I get this to boot into a graphical user interface? I have tried using both the dd method and unetbootin to create boot usb but each time, I am directed to an installation text prompt without any boot menu at start, if its relevant, I am trying this out on a chromebook with a custom bios.
ReplyDeleteeven after installing to hdd, there is just a console shell and no X/gui.
startx from within the livecd shell doesn't log me into JWM, what am I doing wrong?
