Try typing startx (if you're in runlevel 3) - if you want X to start automatically then set initdefault to 5 in /etc/inittab as panggou indicates. If you don't want to reboot, type "init q" to get init to re-read inittab. Then type "telinit 5" or "init 5" to transition to runlevel 5.

syslinux2ansi
SYSLINUX2ANSI(1) General Commands Manual SYSLINUX2ANSI(1)
NAME
syslinux2ansi - converts a syslinux-format screen to pc-ansi
SYNOPSIS
syslinux2ansi < filename.input > filename.output
DESCRIPTION
Syslinux2ansi is a filter which converts a screen formatted for syslinux to one compatible with PC ANSI. It will only read from standard
in, and has no command line options.
BUGS
Help and version command line options would be useful.
The ability to put input and output filenames on the command line might be good as well.
Bug reports
I would appreciate hearing of any problems you have with SYSLINUX. I would also like to hear from you if you have successfully used SYS-
LINUX, especially if you are using it for a distribution.
If you are reporting problems, please include all possible information about your system and your BIOS; the vast majority of all problems
reported turn out to be BIOD or hardware bugs, and I need as much information as possible in order to diagnose the problems.
There is a mailing list for discussion among SYSLINUX users and for announcements of new and test versions. To join, send a message to
majordomo@linux.kernel.org with the line:
subscribe syslinux
in the body of the message. The submission address is syslinux@linux.kernel.org.

AUTHOR
This manual page is a quick write-up for Debian done by Kevin Kreamer <kkreamer@etherhogz.org>, by looking over the 1 screenful of Perl
that is syslinux2ansi.
