Rootstock Problem -gnome

i tried to use rootstock for beagleboard rev c4 with maveric
installation. But i took some problems. i am using rootstock-0.1.99.4

First of all i tried this;

sudo rootstock --fqdn beagle --login ubuntu --password 1 --imagesize
2G --seed linux-image-omap,gcc,g++,make,build-essential,openssh-
server,nano,apt,usbutils,linux-kernel-headers,linux-firmware,wireless-
tools,wpasupplicant,zip,linux-source-2.6.35 --components "main
universe multiverse" --dist maverick --serial ttyS2

And it works fine. But it did not support gnome. İ did not see
anything on the monitor. (only cursor)

I want to add gnome packages on the rootstock operation. i tried this:

sudo ./rootstock --fqdn beagle --login beagle --password 1 --imagesize
2G --seed linux-image-omap,gcc,g++,make,build-essential,openssh-
server,nano,apt,usbutils,linux-kernel-headers,linux-firmware,wireless-
tools,wpasupplicant,zip,linux-source-2.6.35,xfce4,gdm,xubuntu-gdm-
theme,xubuntu-artwork,xserver-xorg-video-omap3 --components "main
universe multiverse" --dist maverick --serial ttyS2

i added;
xfce4
gdm
xubuntu-gdm-theme
xubuntu-artwork
xserver-xorg-video-omap3

But when operation is processing, take a while later and then stop
processing.

Halt this step. What is the reason of this problem? Thank you for all
answers.

One more thing, i will use touchscreen instead of monitor. Are these
packages correct packages for me? (for gnome). interface should be
usable and simple on touchscreen. it does not have to be desktop
editions' interface. Thank you.

If you only have a cursor, install ubuntu-desktop.. Then you'll get
your gnome..
"sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"

i added;

Rootstock/Qemu is very fragile, if you try to install too many
packages specially gui packages, it will randomly fail.. (using an
arm chroot on a beagle/panda is how i get past that issue..)

Thank you for your answer.

when i tried to use this command on beagleboard, (sudo apt-get install
ubuntu-desktop) it continued about 8 hours. After that it succeed. but
it is too long. but it worked thank you.

The other thing that what i want is mobile gui. because my touchscreen
is about 3'' and with desktop edition or lxde this is not useful for
me. is this a package for this ? i saw on the internet lots of things
like that but i could not found any package for add, on the internet.
Have you any suggestion about that?

thank you.
