about tty's in slackware 10

[zorkmed at qwest.net]

Hi all, glad to be back after a long unwanted break...
Just got a couple of quick questions as a newbe.
1. when I upgraded from slackware 9 to 10, I only have one tty instead of 
the normal six.  I thought I'd only have that problem during setup, so 
didn't wory about it, but still got it even after the reboot, everything 
else seems to work just fine.
Also, how do I start x and thus gnopernicus?  I have already chosen gnome 
as my window manager.
Thanks all

Cheereo!
