I suspect your installation of Debian is not complete somehow.
First thing I'd try is: # apt-get upgrade I'm thinking this will "force" apt to finish installing whatever is broken. Hopefully. > i didnt manage to do network configurations via dhcp or ppp during > debian installation...yet i have 1 mail (it seems) in my mail folder > which i dont know how to open...

You can have mail, even without a network, because the system itself, being a multi-user system, provides a mail system, and uses it to inform the administrator of various messages. I'd suggest you try typing "mutt" to access your mail. If that command is not found, try "apt-get install mutt". > How can I get the GUI to start up?? thanks > Whatever brokenness is in your system needs to be dealt with before worrying about the GUI. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
