You might want to tell us what you mean when you write: "got the wallpaper to come up." How did you get the wallpaper to come up? Did you run
startx? Did you see a graphical login screen? Do you have a desktop?
Which tutorial are you following? Where are you at in that tutorial? Bro.Tiag has already recommended
How to install debian on imac-emac ppc, very verbose set-up. I highly recommend
The Illustrated Guide to Installing Debian GNU/Linux.
Finally, please learn how to ask a good question. To that end, you should read:
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way by Eric S. Raymond.

Before You Ask
Before asking a technical question by e-mail, or in a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:
- Try to find an answer by searching the archives of the forum you plan to post to.
- Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
- Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
- Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
- Try to find an answer by inspection or experimentation.
- Try to find an answer by asking a skilled friend.
- If you're a programmer, try to find an answer by reading the source code.
When you ask your question, display the fact that you have done these things first; this will help establish that you're not being a lazy sponge and wasting people's time. Better yet, display what you have learned from doing these things. We like answering questions for people who have demonstrated they can learn from the answers.

Well alright, Now I am turning on my computer, it asks me which to boot from CD or linux, I press L for linux, It goes and runs a bunch of code I do not understand, as I am not a linux programmer, just in basic programming classes. Next it will come up with a login window. The login screen has debian in the upper left hand corner, with 3 menus, Language, Session, and Actions on the lower Left Hand Corner, and the login window reads Welcone, Username:, Please enter your username, followed by a entry box, of course, asking for the user name. I go ahead and enter my username: mickgriddle. The login window then reads Password: i enter my password, I next receive an error message that reads: Your home directory is listed as: '/home/mickgriddle' but it does not appear to exist. Do you want to log in with the /(root) directors as your home director? it is unlikely anything will work unless you use a failsafe session. Proceeded by two GUI buttons, both No, and Yes. No, goes back to the beginning, Welcome please enter username. When I select yes, A new error message User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME director must be owned by user and not writable by other users. Followed by a button that reads OK. I click ok and yet another error message pops up. It reads: Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds. If you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of diskspace. Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem. It asks me if I would like to view the details, if I do, it reads:
/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...
Unable to create //.dbus
Unable to create //.dbus/sessions-bus
(seahorse-agent:1902): libgnomevfs-WARNING ++: Unable to create ~/.gnome2 directory: No such file or directory
(seahorse-agent:1902): libgnomevfs-WARNING ++: Unable to create ~/.gnome2 directory: Permission denied
Could not create per-user gnome configuration directory /home/mickgriddle/.gnome2/' : No such file of directory
I press ok and it goes back to the command terminal for about half a second and then goes back to the login interface. How do I access the Command terminal from here? I tried logging in the login interface as root, however it went to tell me incorrect username or password.
