Greetings,
| Keep in mind that Gentoo is a rolling release distribution, so the
| LiveDVD is primarily a means to check out if Gentoo is something for
| you, or just to quickly check out a different desktop environment
| than in your installation, etc.
Well, how to select these different desktop environments? :)
I'm thrown to KDE without a possibilty to choose another one except if
using the boot parameter nox, in which case i can use startxfce4.
Furthermore, connecting to my ISP would require the package rp-pppoe
which had to be emerged first. To do that an existing connection is
necessary... *g*

Just log out and select something else from kdm.

That was one of the first things i had tried. It took me to a login
window without a menu.
Now i have looked closer and indeed, there is a button, a tiny one,
which has to be clicked to reveal this menu.
I am not used to xdm, kdm etc and am happy with my icewm invoked with
startx from the console. Maybe i am the only one who had difficulties
with this kdm. *g*
