Error while attempting to install GUI, Linux Noob alert!
Posted: 2018/07/17 15:00:20
Total Linux Noob, so please be patient. I've made it much further into the process that I thought I ever would before I needed to ask for help...of course this may be the root of my problem.
Before I do anything, I'm working on an IBM System x3200 M3 Server with 4 hard drives, the idea is to have them configured in RAID 1 and use it as an encrypted NAS. I had previously fiddled around in the UEFI and figured out how to configure the virtual drive is said manner. I'm not sure it was necessary, but it was done.
I've downloaded CentOS7, I used Win32DiskImager for some reason I've already forgotten, something to do with installing from USB, which is what I did.
I went through the whole set up interface, set up a password and log in and security stuff, that all seems to have gone well.
Now I'm at the step... I think... where I am to install the GUI. To do this, I'm watching this video;

Now he's launching from a virtual machine, and I am not. So that's different. But it seems to be working to a point, I get to 1:08 in the video and you'll see he just has a hand-full of ~ symbols on his screen. On my screen, it's all ~ symbols and I can't seem to scroll up or down using arrows, or page up/down keys. The system just beeps at me when I try to do it in insert mode.
So...any idea what I've done wrong?
