Install GNOME RPM after minimum RHEL install
Hi All,
I installed RHEL without the X-Window, GNOME, or KDE interface. Right now I'm just getting the command prompts which I DON'T WANT. what I want is a nice GUI. I've installed the GNOME RPM as well as all of its dependencies but now I don't know what to do. I thought I was supposed to go to /etc/inittab and change the default run level from 3 to 5 but I got an error when I rebooted. Said something about spawning too quickly. :eek: I've also tried typing startx but it says command not found. Anyway, I know there's something else I need to do but I don't have the slightest idea. Please bare with me I used to be a windows user!!! Thanks :) Please let me know if I need to be more descriptive. |
you install x?

try editing /etc/X11/XF86Config
to match your setup, or get XFree86-4.4.0 and run, xf86config |
no. Just GNOME. Should I and if I should than how? What's the difference between X and GNOME?
thanks |
