Hi all,
First of all, thank you Lisi for trying to calm down these folks! I'm not always on
the computer, and I had quite a big week!
The worse in that is that the user coudn't figure out that he made a mistake, and not
that my hundred-times-tested PCLinuxOS non-official TDE remaster has such a problem...
Are-we facing a code 18 :)
The install can be started by 2 ways:
Regular way: By the install icon on the desktop while running the LiveCD
The ''low-ram'' way: By selecting to go directly to the installer on the
grub menu of the LiveCD
Once the partitions has been made and the stuff is installed (I don't remember if it
is right after, or at first boot), the system ask for creating an user. You have to create
an user, or else the system is going to be used by nobody :)
During the user creating process, the PCLinuxOS installer copy the skeleton of what is
needed in the user folder. This is made automatically, but if you want to know it for your
own knowledge, it is in /etc/skel/.
The only thing I can see is that you probably skipped creating an user for any reason.
Then, login with the user you just created and you're ready to go!
Once TDE R14.0.1 will be out, I will rebuild my remaster on top of it, but for now I stick
to 3.5.13.2 for reasons pointed out by Lisi. Also, the point of having so much stuff on
the LiveCD is to have almost everything ''on board'' to setup a freshly
formatted computer without needing to install stuff that you would install anyway, such as
LibreOffice, and maybe as LIsi said I might like complexity :)
Have a great day!

That's just cosmetic! Alexandre likes complexity.
But who do you mean by OP??? The OP was using Alexandre's LiveCD and had
problems installing it. He didn't mention minime or big daddy (both of which
need translation. :-/ )
Lisi
If I understand correctly, there are two
independent PClinuxOS builds
- one
from Alexandre based on 3.5.13.x, and second located on url
http://trinity.mypclinuxos.com/. And for this second build I do not
know on
what Trinity version is based. On the screenshot is TDE 3.5.13.x, but
I do
not know if this also applies to version 2015-may.
There are actually two versions at http://trinity.mypclinuxos.com/, a
minime (by reelcat, small/minimal/trinity-tdebase) and a big daddy (by
present_arms), both are r14 and nothing to do w/ Alexandre's. Topic
covering development of the builds:

Similar to the OP's experience, I understand that the installed minime
version is a lot plainer than the live version. That would be a good
thing because the panel in the live version is a crowded mess (I
haven't tried installing it yet).
