View Full Version : GUI interface for Red Hat Linux Server 6.1

I have a Red Hat Linux 6.1 CD which has various install options (GNOME, KDE, server etc). I originally installed GNOME and accessed the GUI interface by typing STARTX.

I recently decided to install the server option, however, although now I don't seem to be able to access the GUI interface. (I get a "command not found" error.)

Does anybody know what has gone wrong? Actually, has anything gone wrong at all? Does the server option actually have a GUI interface?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The server install of RH doesn't install the Xwindows system. You'll need to use RPM to install the packages. In RH 7 the command would be:

#rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/XFree86*rpm

Of Course you must be root to run the install.

Hope this helps http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif
