So I got Linux Red Hat 7.3 Installed and I'm choosing my display on the last window of the graphical setup. I choose the wrong Display and bump the Next button and then my computer starts to reboot. Red Hat starts to boot up and Im directed to the Login Promt. I type "root", then my password and then I type "startx" and I get this big error and it puts me back to the prompt.
Please Help... What do I do? I Think It has to do with the display I chose, How do I get back into the Installation setup??????
Im as noooobie as they come....so be clear as possible
