If you want it to start on boot, you have to make sure GDM is installed (it should be if Gnome is installed properly), and make sure /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh exists. There should be a file called gdm.sh.sample installed in that directory by GDM. You can just do: # cd /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d # cp gdm.sh.sample gdm.sh If you reboot, gdm should start automatically, showing you a grapical login that will log you into Gnome.
