First thing's first, create a user besides root and use that user to log in. The command for this is "adduser". To find out more about the command use "man adduser". Second, once you've created the new user, log in with it and type "startx" which should bring you into your Gnome interface if it's been installed correctly. Third, read the Handbook, live the Handbook, BE the Handbook. :) chris --- "Mazen S.
