1.You need to install xorg

apt-get install xserver-xorg xinit xfonts-base xserver-xorg-video-geode xterm
xserver-xorg-input-all


2.you need a window manager (lite)
apt-get install matchbox matchbox-keyboard (or lxde comlete GUI Desktop system)

and you need gnash for reading flash videos (or flashplugin-nonfree) and
iceweasel (firefox).


3.To start directrly in fullscreen you need to change your /etc/inittab 
(add comand line to start "startx")

4.for sound add
alsa-base alsa-tools (run alsaconf and it works).


This way you have a realy lite GUI system ...
