newbie redhat update problem

[Floyd Baker]

Hello.  

I hate to ask but what happened to my qui?   Last night I downloaded a
bunch of redhat 7.3 updates to my first and still very unfamiliar
linux machine and now it only brings up bash.   

I'm learning, bash included, but need some time.  :-/  Can someone
please tell me how gnome can be made to come up on boot again?   I'm
sort of at a loss.  The people who made the box up for me have gone
away.  

Thanks much...

Floyd
