The perfect setups are server setups, server setups normally does not include a graphical login. All steps in the howto after the basic installer is finished where done on the commandline.

And what i did was once again i formatted my Pc and installed linux but this time when it asked about a question relating to login as a server ....sth like that i checked NO. when i finished installing i got the graphical interface, i hope it will help
