After some fiddling with the arguments and the run level (set on 3) I 
finaly got into the system. But still no graphics but dull command 
lines. I'm pretty sure I selected a GUI in the installation.

Somewhere else on this list i picked up the command startx but that 
ended up in "X connection to :0.0 broken (eplicit kill or server 
shutdown"

Really makes me feel going back to the pre Mac Plus days were it took 
a day to install a printer on my DOS machine ;-)
