just did a base level install of FC4, wget yum, installed yum and have ran yum update, and yum -y groupinstall gnome and still startx does not work.
i am not familure with FC, nor am i familure with Gnome as i have been using Debian and KDE for the last year or so.
do not ask why i am trying out FC, it is for a test bed for my company, but i have no clue how to get the GUI up and running. i will need the GUI for the test bed to have a chance to run.
what packages do i need to make sure i have. IIRC FC4 is running both the 2.6.11 kernel and xorg.
ok thank you, i will try that when i get home, but i know for a fact that xorg-x11 is already installed, and i am almost 100% that gnome-desktop is too.
