problems debian / gnome

[Marko Djukic <tech@oblo.com>]

Hi all,

have a problem, I did a debian install and that went ok... i did a gnome 
install and that didn't seem to go too well.

everytime i boot, debian gets to the login prompt, waits 1sec then blanks 
out the screen with a cursor blinking in the top left corner and i can't do 
anything.

most probably some file missing, but i can't figure out what. i can get 
into maintainance mode (ID 1) and look around but not sure where...

any ideas anyone?

thanks,

marko

ps. potete rispondere anche in italiano, grazie! :)
