EDIT: this didn't happen in live session using usbdisk. it's installed now in harddisk.

Re: display manager doesn't appear
Try this:
Instead of starting the graphic mode with startx, you can start the X-server with xinit.
You will get a little primitive console in the upper left corner.
Now you move the cursor to the x-console (to activate it) and type "startkde". The graphic mode should start.
This is a log window and there you can read what is happening to your system, you will get a clue, why it is not starting as planned. You can move up an down to investigate the fault.
Good luck!

Porteus is proud of the FASTEST KDE ever made.....(take akonadi, nepomuk and soprano out and you will have a decent OS).
