If you are in KDE or one of the other GUI desktops, you should be able to log
off and when it goes to the graphical login with the different penquins and
asks for the password you can change the desk top there. Just click on the
KDE or ICEWM or what ever shows up below the login/password lines and it
should drop down a list of all of the GUI's available to you. Take your pick.
If you are doing just text boot up and are typing the line "startx" I am not
sure what the line should be. Something like "startx gnome" but maybe some
one else on the list knows that for sure. Choices are wonderful, onward,
