Follow ed's advice. You will then need to go to the Control Center to Set up your user (Start>Configuration>Other>UserDrake). I am assuming that the only log-in you have now is for "root"?. User "root" is not for everyday use, it is the equiv. of Windows "Administrator" with all of the attendant pivileges. Once your user is set-up, you can check to see if you can log-in as your "username" with your password. If this works you can then set-up to boot directly to the gui log-in by editing (any text editor, KWrite is fine, emacs is better) your /etc/inittab
Find the line that says id:3:initdefault: and put a # sign in front of it like this #id:3:initdefault: below it put this line: id:5:initdefault: If what you want is to boot to gui, this is ONE of the ways to make it so. If I mis-understood, sorry for the wasted bandwidth.
