Hi again,

When I try to login as root or su it says I have an authentication problem. 
Therefore I cannot enter the stage to add the GUI. Could someone give me step 
by step pointers to install.

Thanks

I always like to use aptitude instead of apt-get.

The main reason is that it logs all package changes (well, the
intentions anyway) in /var/log/aptitude.  This is good for retracing
your steps when something goes awry.

It also gives you a nice GUI, albeit a text one for searching for
packages, reading descriptions and changelogs etc.

Good luck!
