==================================
Sounds as if you're booting into console mode. Try this: Login as root and
edit the file /etc/inittab.
Find the line that reads something to the effect of
id:3:initdefault
change the 3 to a 5.
When you reboot, you should boot into gui mode and you can log in from there.
HTH,
Mike
