Alright, I have searched the forums and google. None have actually helped me. I have put BT5-KDE-64 on my usb flash drive and booted it on my laptop which is 64bit. After all the loading I get to the console page. From there I attempt to type "startx" and it just says
"/bin/sh/: startx: not found"
user and toor get no response (if that means anything) nothing works. Its not a bad install I have redownloaded it 3 times, Gnome does not work either. I am BAD at this, so go easy on me.

Thanks for reading -Hyped

Its kind of like the bootmgr missing on a windows os.

So reinstall the OS on usb. you must have messed up on the mounting of the usb and it got corrupt

Try virtualization in the bios. or us a program like x boot or hirens boot cd to install a os. Your doing something wrong. I recommend trying the programs above. you can put multiple OS'S on one flashdrive if it has enough space.
