Dear gentleman/madam,

i have just installed gentoo and it works great! Thank you all for such great work. When i boot from the installation dvd i get in the console text an gentoo 2007.0 image. The X display manager invoked the live dvd shows a very nice configuration too.

The installed gentoo has nothing like that! How could i enable the text console image? How to get X Display Manager that style?

thanks in advance

I'm not sure whether I got you right, but I think what you mean is gensplash, see http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_gensplash.

You will also have to install X11 to get the graphical interface. Check out this guide

Then, to get a similar GUI as on the liveCD, you will need to install GNOME and gdm. I couldn't help you with this, but it should be fairly straightforward, along the lines of emerge gnome gdm.

the install when finished gives you a very minimal Linux system

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Desktop Environments.
Desktop configuration questions, so moved here.
