I just installed rh 7.2 and it went ok. But I'm only get a command prompt, the question is how do I start GNOME or whatever the graphical GUI is called from the command windows? [Edited by - Brocketino on March 19, 2005 9:33:09 PM]

at the command prompt type "startx". Why are you using such an old distro?

If you want it to always boot to the windowed run-level, you can change the startup run-level from 3, multiuser console, to 4, multiuser X. You change these settings in /etc/inittab I believe.

Click here to patch the mozilla IDN exploit, or click Here then type in Network.enableidn and set its value to false. Restart the browser for the patches to work.

I think RedHat uses runlevel 5 for X, but the correct runlevel should be explained in the comments of /etc/inittab
