Text-mode installs default to not starting X11 by default. After logging in 
as root, run:
sed -i -e 's/id:3:initdefault/id:5:initdefault/g' /etc/inittab

Alternatively, if you don't like long magic commands, you can do this with 
an editor. Run:
nano /etc/inittab
move the cursor to the 3 in:
id:3:initdefault
press [Del] and enter a 5 instead. Save with Ctrl+o Enter and quit with 
Ctrl+x.

Then reboot and you'll get your GUI.

To get the graphical startup if your video hardware supports it, add "rhgb" 
to the kernel command line in the /boot/grub/grub.conf file.
