1) after installing debian and i boot up using the boot disk i get a command prompt or shell as linux users may call it, for my PW and UN but i want to have the GUI - desktop, on screen keyboard etc show up, how do i do this?

If you're asking just about a gui login manager,

apt-get install xdm|kdm|gdm|wdm (your choice)

2) and how do i uninstall this if i need too?

apt-get --purge remove xdm (or whichever)


If you're not asking about a gui login manager, but rather a gui environment (ie. the X Window System), you'll need to install the various components of X. Probably the easiest way to do this is to run "tasksel" and select what you want, or alternatively just run "apt-get install x-window-system". You may then need to install additional components, such as KDE or wmaker or OpenOffice.org or Mozilla, etc, but that should get you started.
