[SOLVED] No graphical login or desktop, even after installing SLIM and IceWM

My apologies if this has been posted before, but I've got a bit of a head-scratcher here -- I just installed the latest Devuan Excalibur 6.1.1 from a NetInstall CD.  I had it install Firefox, SLIM, IceWM, Sakura (so that I'd have a terminal), and L3afpad, rebooted...and I'm still stuck in a text-only display.  I even tried typing "startx" to get into IceWM, but it said that that command wasn't found.  Am I missing something else here?

Never mind -- after I posted this, I realized I forgot to install xserver-xorg -- DUHHH!!!
