He appears to have the startx command (he's as short on specifics as he
is long on complaints), so normally when issuing that command at the
console without any GUI environments or window managers installed
whatsover should get him a terminal emulator in a window with a big
black X for a mouse cursor (if memory serves, maybe I'm all wet).

He says the system reboots. That's not normal; something's going haywire
somewhere.
