Someone else can probably explain what to do much better but I'll give it a
try...
I think you need to run Xconfigurator to setup X.
Then try typing startx at the command prompt.
If you can get into X successfully from there, next you can edit your
/etc/inittab (i think...) file to startup into runlevel 5 (...to go straight
into X at startup).
DO NOT attempt to startup directly to runlevel 5 if you can not use X
successfully by typing startx after logging in.
..hope that helps a little.

May I ask how can I go into X Windows? I mean to use the GUI instead of
the command shell.
I type /startx and got this execve failed /etc/X11/X (errno 2)
I type /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup-) I got Error: cannot open display Xbanner:
couldn't open display
Did I do something wrong? How could I go into a GUI environment right at
startup?
Many thanks
