You don't. When you have booted the machine, the OS is loaded and running. When you log in you get a shell which sets on top of the OS. You might then start up an X window manager such as Afterstep or KDE which is kind of a shell that manages X for you and then you can open up windows such as xterms which start new shells for you and you work in the shells. ////jerry
