Marcia....as root edit your /etc/inittab file and change 3 to
a 5 in the following line like this:
id:3:initdefault:
to
id:5:initdefault:
The next time you boot the system you'll come up in the gui
mode and will beable to login in the gui login manager.
Concerning your sound problem, try this. On your Panel (at
the bottom og f the screen) there is an icon for mixer. Open
it and make sure that the volume is turned up loud enough. If
this doesn't help then you'll need to supply more info about
your sound card.
