to start the graphical interface use the command startx

to make the machine always boot into graphic mode you need to edit the file /etc/inittab, it should look something like this:

Quote:
# These are the default runlevels in Slackware:
# 0 = halt
# 1 = single user mode
# 2 = unused (but configured the same as runlevel 3)
# 3 = multiuser mode (default Slackware runlevel)
# 4 = X11 with KDM/GDM/XDM (session managers)
# 5 = unused (but configured the same as runlevel 3)
# 6 = reboot

# Default runlevel. (Do not set to 0 or 6)
id:4:initdefault:
just read the description, as it will tell you what runlevel is graphical on your machine...

on slackware it's 4, i believe other distros have it as 5...
