Post Pendrivelinux 2008

I recently installed Pen Drive Linux 2008 on my USB drive. My BIOS is set to boot from a USB device and it does in deed boot to my USB drive and into Pendrivelinux2008, but it boots to a terminal window and not to the GUI. Is there something wrong with the installation or is there a way to get to the GUI from the terminal window?
