This is somewhat funny. I have just installed Fedora Core 8. When i start my pc i get a localhost login. I have to login as root and use the password i had set up during installation. Once i have done that i would really like to get into the gui. any suggestions?

You shouldnt need to do that. It should automatically start and should run the firstboot program for you to perform post-install configuration. Must be a bug
