Do you mean that on boot you start at a console login?
If so you can edit you /etc/inittab file.
As root, type, in a terminal:Near the bottom, you see a line like this:Code:vim /etc/inittab
Change the 3 to a 5, save and you're in business.Code:id:3:initdefault:

If I read your post right, it sounds like you're booting up into a command line environment. If you just want a graphical environment, type startx and hit the return button. If it's something else, post back to clarify. Welcome to Linuxforums.
