Did you create a user? If not, we can help you create one. While it is not normally a good idea to do it as root, you can start the GUI by running startx. But I suspect that X didn't get configured properly, so you may have to run system-config-display before you can get the GUI. Once you have X working properly, see if the system boots into the GUI mode. If not, let us know and someone will be happy to tell you how to change that. I do not want to give too many directions all at once, or directions on how to do things that you do not have to do right now. Besides, there are some nice GUI tools that are more "user friendly" then the CLI tools. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
