Thanks Andrew,
will try to be more specific with the detail.
What I did was load the base install from the installation cd over my

This had no effect in that I am still unable to login.

When try to open:
/root/install.log, /root/install.log.syslog and /var/log/XFree86.*.log
get a message saying no such file or directory.
The other logs seemed to contain nothing sinister.

All I did was glade <return> from the command line when I go to linux 1 at
boot.

Correct, it just takes me back to an empty login box.
