All you need to do is open an xterm while in Xwindow an give the
command switchdesk.
 The rest should be self explanatory

Re: [newbie] Command Line

[n3meq]

Nielish,
 If you wan't to get to a console prompt simply start an xterm from KDE
 and then do an su command, when prompted fpr the root password give
 that password and you will have command line control of the system as
 root.

You may also wish to change your init runlevel in /etc/inittab to 3
rather than 5 this will give you a normal console login and when you
wish to run Xwindow you would use the command: startx.

Good Luck,
Dave

Re: [newbie] booting to GUI

Hi Stephan,
 You will need to go into /etc directory and using your favorite editor
 open the file inittab. change the line in that file that reads 
 id:3:initdefault:
to read:
id:5:initdefault:

This will tell the system to start in runlevel 5 which is Xwindow
