how to start gnome from the command line

[Kjetil brinchmann Halvorsen <kjetil1001@gmail.com>]

I have just installed debian squeeze from CD-rom 1 (amd64), and from the
command line run sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment.

But on booting the computer I am still dropped to a shell, and the command
startx
do not work.

How do I start gnome from the command line (and how configure debian to start
it automatically on boot?
