(Migrated from github.com)

I have just installed Prawn OS, through the latest IMG file, burned to USB.
I booted from USB --> logged in as root --> ran 'Install PrawnOS' --> chose 'Install'
I rooted the Chromebook with no GUI.

Next, I rebooted from USB, logged in, and ran 'InstallPrawnOS' --> chose 'Expand'
I chose 'Yes' to add Desktop Environment
Now I have rebooted, and logged in - there is no desktop GUI or commands either, such as 'startx' 'startxfce' - I cannot see these.

My question: should I run 'Expand' again, since it may only have failed, or are there other bugs I may not be seeing or other commands needed to initialize desktop environment & GUI.

Experience with linux is moderate to high.
