Hi,
I've got an install of CentOS 5.3 in a VM which was installed without X or Gnome. I've added X (yum groupinstall 'X Window System') and Gnome (yum groupinstall 'GNOME Desktop Environment) and can now run startx no problem. However on boot I get a command line login rather than the graphical login screen one normally gets if Gnome is included at install time. What do I need to do to get the graphical login after boot? Cheers and TIA, Anat. |

As root, carefully edit your /etc/inittab file and change the line that currently reads -- -- to be -- Once that change has been made, the system will offer a graphical login screen at all subsequent boots. To enable a graphical login without re-booting it now, just issue a -- -- command. |
