<para>After <application>Kde-workspace</application> has been installed, the
first important milestone has been reached. Now you need to configure your
system to start KDE4.</para>
<sect2 role="content">
<title>Starting KDE4 from the command prompt</title>
<para>
You can start <application>KDE4</application> from runlevel 3, using
<xref linkend="xinit"/>, or from runlevel 5, using a Display Manager,
such as <xref linkend="sddm"/>.
</para>
<para>
To start <application>KDE4</application> using <xref linkend="xinit"/>,
run the following commands:
</para>
<screen><userinput>cat &gt; ~/.xinitrc &lt;&lt; "EOF"
<literal>ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session startkde</literal>
EOF
startx</userinput></screen>
<para>
The X session starts on the first unused virtual terminal, normally vt7.
You can switch to another vt<emphasis>n</emphasis> simultaneously
pressing the keys Ctrl-Alt-F<emphasis>n</emphasis>
(<emphasis>n</emphasis>=1, 2, ...). To switch back to the X session,
normally started at vt7, use Ctrl-Alt-F7. The vt where the command
<command>startx</command> was executed will display many messages,
including X starting messages, applications automatically started with
the session, and eventually, some warning and error messages. You may
prefer to redirect those messages to a log file, which not only will keep
the initial vt uncluttered, but can also be used for debug purposes. This
can be done starting X with:
</para>
<screen><userinput>startx &amp;&gt; ~/.x-session-errors</userinput></screen>
<note>
<para>
You may wish to drop consolekit and/or dbus-launch, e.g., just using
startkde in ~/.xinitrc. However some capabilities such as mounting or
umounting file systems from a file manager will not be possible, or the
reboot option will be absent or inoperative, among other problems.
</para>
</note>
<para>
When shutting down or rebooting, the shutdown messages appear on the vt
where X was running. If you wish to see those messages, simultaneously
press keys Alt-F7 (assuming that X was running on vt7).
</para>

<sect2 role="content">
<title>Starting KDE4 at boot</title>
<para>KDE4 comes with a graphical login interface called KDM (the KDE4 Display
Manager), which provides a customizable graphical login at boot. To use KDM,
you need to edit your <filename>/etc/inittab</filename> file (as the
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user).
First, setup run-level 5 to start KDM (adjust
the path to kdm according to your system):</para>
<screen><userinput>cat &gt;&gt; /etc/inittab &lt;&lt; EOF
<literal>kd:5:respawn:/opt/kde/bin/kdm</literal>
EOF</userinput></screen>
<para>Additionally, you need to change the default run-level from 3 to 5:</para>
<screen><userinput>sed -i 's#id:3:initdefault:#id:5:initdefault:#' /etc/inittab</userinput></screen>
<para>You can now restart your system and see the KDE4 login
screen.</para>

<sect2 role="content">
<title>Installing further languages (l10n)</title>
<para>You may want to install support for your locale language. The l10n
packages can be found at <ulink
url="&kde-download-http;applications/&kde-apps-version;/src/kde-l10n/">
&kde-download-http;applications/&kde-apps-version;/src/kde-l10n/</ulink>.
See <xref linkend="kde-add-pkgs"/> for build instructions. If you are in a
KDE4 session when installing a new language and configure KDE4 to use it, the
session needs to be restarted, in order to see the effects.</para>
</sect2>
<sect2 role="content">
<title>Installing further KDE4 packages</title>
<para>Every subsequent package can be built while having
<application>KDE4</application> up and running, but remember to keep
<envar>&kde-dir;</envar> and <envar>&qt4-dir;</envar> set.</para>
