The program you are looking for is either xdm, or more likely gdm or kdm. But before you go off looking for that, take a look at the file called "/etc/inittab". In the first few lines, you should see something like this: id:3:initdefault: If it just like that, with a 3, change the 3 to a 5. That changes the default run level to 5, which should cause the machine to go into the GUI login screen. -- Sharp tools prevent accidents, and foster intent. http://www.hacksaw.org -- http://www.privatecircus.com -- KB1FVD
