Red Hat Re-install


Just re-installed RH 8, Gnome and KDE. When I now boot I am greeted with "localhost login". How do I start the login screen that lets me choose my desktop?

thanks,

David

you want a grpahical login? check that in /etc/inittab the line that says "id:3:initdefault:" has a 5 and not a 3. next time you boot you should get the login menu thing. you'd also want to change your hostname i guess, just use the "hostname" proram ni a terminal
