Hi again,
When I try to login as root or su it says I have an authentication
problem. Therefore I cannot enter the stage to add the GUI. Could
someone give me step by step pointers to install.
Thanks

I always like to use aptitude instead of apt-get.
The main reason is that it logs all package changes (well, the
intentions anyway) in /var/log/aptitude. This is good for retracing
your steps when something goes awry.
It also gives you a nice GUI, albeit a text one for searching for
packages, reading descriptions and changelogs etc.
Good luck!

Hi,
Per chance did you install lamp etc as part of the install? I have
on 2 occasions installed Ubuntu 7.4 & 7.10 & installed the lamp bind
stuff as part of the install & had the same problem! If you install them
after I didn't get the su problems.
