Are you able to log in and run the command, "startx", without any errors?

If you are, then you just need to adjust your runlevel (very easy). If you are not, then you need to configure your X server (a little more difficult, but not impossible).

If you get any errors, please try to post them here. I know this won't be easy to do since you won't be able to cut-n-paste.

Let us know,

Forrest
