Of course - just 'apt-get install task-x-window-system', which among other things will install a display manager so you won't boot into text-only mode. There are many, many GUI-related packages available, but see the installation manual for how to use the packaging system to acquire them. You might like, for example, to install task-gnome-desktop, which will install the basic desktop from the GNOME project. (Further followups should probably go to debian-user only; Mail-Followup-To: set.) Regards, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
