Auto-boot into Gnome? (mega newbie!)
Please help, I've installed Redhat 9 and I chose the workstation installation. When the system boots it goes to the command line and not into Gnome (which i definatly installed). I know this is really basic but how do I get Gnome to start automatically??
I've never used Linux but I've got unix experience. Any help much appreciated! Cheers wheel |
do a liloconfig and add append="telinit 4" to lilo then it should boot your gdm and there you should be able to log into gnome you can also configure gdm to do a autologin .. but before changing lilo configs be really sure you have installed xfree,gdm,gnome !

assuming you've installed Gnome/kde during installation
edit /etc/inittab you can use pico, its an easy to use editor pico /etc/inittab change id:3:initdefault: (the number may not be 3) to id:5:initdefault: if its already on 5 make sure you have some line which looks like x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon is at the end note Redhat uses runlevel 5 as default for X session, slackware uses 4 |
Thanks Demon that was spot on. I'm still struggling through everything else like setting the network up but at least i've got a gui now!
