Run it in virtual machine ??? hehehe.

There is no need to add users via console

Anand, first do yum update, and then list all available groups with

Code:

yum grouplist -v | less

and first install

Code:

yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"

as suggested, and then any other group/package you want.

Also run

Code:

yum install mc

to install Midnight Commander, command line file utility, just like old Norton Commander on DOS.

then go to /etc/inittab and set 18th row to read

Quote:

id:5:initdefault:

Navigate with MC and press <F4> to edit the file then <F2> to save it when you done, and <ESC> 2 times to exit the editor. Then reboot and you should be in GNOME. Then you can use Add/Remove Software for packages and all other Administration options from GUI.

How do you take screen shots of the installer program? Will print screen key work? If yes, where will you paste and save the buffer?:scratch:

Thanks...

haha, right-click on the image, choose "View Image" (in Firefox), copy the address from the address bar, or right-click the image and checkout Properties.
