If you want to start xorg from the command line, execute 'startx'. You
can select your default window manager/desktop environment by
configuring ~/.xinitrc. To start KDE, put 'exec startkde' in your
~/.xinitrc file. Execute 'man startx' for more information.
If you want the computer to boot to a GUI, you'll have to configure xdm,
kdm or gdm. You can find more information about these in the handbook:

Best of luck,
