It's dead easy to install a system with no means to login to a GUI
and
configure stuff.
Boot to runlevel 3 and log in as root, then create the account you want
for graphical login ("useradd <worker-id>" and "passwd
<worker-id>".
If things are so bad this does not work, boot to runlevel 1 and figure
out what is wrong, or re-install.
