login issues

[M]

I have a laptop installation and it figured most of thre drivers , fedora
core 5. it boots fine and then comes to this localhost login screen, where i
used root and gave pwd and then goes to root at localhost..thats it.. i did the
telinit 5 and its say switching to runlevel 5.

some one replied saying i need to make another directory/username than root
to get int?? i made a directory but still it insists on local host login?

thanks for your help
