[SOLVED] How to boot Backtrack into GUI

Hi guys, I'm using Ubuntu for a while and pretty familiar with linux. I burned a copy of backtrack into DVD and then ran it as a live CD. Every time I choose an option from the menu of live CD, it always leads me to the terminal. Can anyone tell me how do I boot into GUI?
Will I have to enter a command such as 'startx'?

[TUT] How to automatically startx / GUI in Backtrack 4.

How do I setup BackTrack to start the GUI automatically, and give me a GUI login?
