Can anyone pls help
Upon booting up, my RedHat will bring me to a DOS-like screen...
Red Hat Linux release 7.0 ... ...
Kernal 2.2.16-22 ... ...
mypc login: _
Then, upon logging in, i got this...
[root@mypc /root]# _
It does not load up the GUI interface(startx-XWindow) as described in the websites around... i tried to type startx, but it is not recognisable.
Anyone knows what happened to my system? And how do I setup the GUI interface?
Pardon me. I am totally new to Linux... :P Was assigned a task of setting up a dns server despite knowing nutz abt Linux... LOL~!Guess I need to learn it
It says the file is not found. In that case, it was not installed when I installed Red Hat. That means I need to install it manually, right? Are there any detailed documents (for newbies) out in the net on how to do that?

If I was setting up a DNS server, the GUI is really not needed and if you planned on running the GUI or X, it would only take up space and resources on the DNS server.
Read up on the DNS howto at www.tldp.org and that might help you in setting up the server.
i found all those X11R6, X11, man, directorys in my system. Don't know is it the person who set up the dns server previously, disabled the features. i think i better go read more first...
