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.
