Dave,
It seems you are able to boot but unable to get GUI correct?
(1) Being a completely new installation, most likely is corrupted so
the easy one would be to reinstall.
(2) you can try to find the problem:
# less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(3) you can manually start the display manager
Restart X:
Two ways:
1.
# /etc/init.d/xdm restart
or
2.
# rcxdm restart
3. then:
login: enter your username
enter your username password
$startx
Dave many thing can reproduce your problem. The fact that you never had
a working system makes the trouble shooting harder.
