Hai aljonsha,
thank you very much for responding my question.
But, as you told I can't get the
system settings from the twm menu.
So, What I should do get the desk top
gnome or kde.
Can you give your e-mail id.

Hi,

Are you new to linux?
I'm sure you would like to have a desktop like Gnome or KDE.
Let the TWM menu appear, go to system settings, go to Add/Remove apllications.
Here you can select a desktop. I would suggest KDE if you are a newbie... It's a little more user-friendly.

Hope this works
(please post if this worked for you)

Hai AljoshaNL,
As you told there is no system settings option under twm menu.
Twm menu contains following options
Iconify,resize,move,raise,lower,focus,
unfocus,show iconmgr, hide iconmgr,
xterm, kill, delete, restart, exit.

oke
Go to xterm
type su
Give your password
type: yum install gnome-desktop
If you are lucky, it will appear next time you boot. Also: Do you have a graphical login? If not, try as root:
yum install gdm

Hope this helps.
