On boot-up, the green Debian desk Top shows for a few seconds and The 'green Debian desktop' that you are describing is probably the GRUB background. That is not the desktop- it is a splash screen which is part of the boot procedure. You do not appear to have actually installed a desktop environment. > then the Terminal appears and I cant get to the Desk Top. > Can you please let me know what to do? What installation image did you use? I suspect you forgot to tell the installer to install a desktop environment. What exactly do you see when you boot? Can you see a 'Login:' prompt once the terminal has opened?
