Non-intuitive configurator #2

image I'm trying to install GNOME. What do I do, and what are those boxes for?

If you followed the instructions (installed the DE and set DISPLAY), it should look like this:

If it does look like it - press Save and logout. Done.

I did follow the instructions. After starting the application again, it does look more like that, but I'm wondering why the boxes were blank the first time.

Sorry for the delay on responding to this, I've been swamped.

I took a look and indeed the configurator wasn't displaying the default values on first launch. I've just pushed a new version that handles this and a few other edge cases properly.

I tested and everything should 'just work'.

In terms of installing the DE specifically, that is somewhat more challenging. The configurator makes no attempt to do that. If you follow the instructions here you should be able to install the DEs manually from bash.exe.

Best of luck and let me know if you have any more issues. Thanks for the issue :)
