newbie redhat update problem

[James Morin]

Greets,

	The name is James, I just signed up to the mailing list.  

Floyd:

1) Login as root. 

2) Open a terminal window. 

3) Change to the /etc directory 

cd /etc 

4) Edit the inittab file 

5) Change the line that reads: 
id:3:initdefault: 
to read: 
id:5:initdefault: 

6) Reboot your system. 


Should take care of that command line for you.

Subject: newbie redhat update problem

	
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
