I have been running FC2 since it was initially released. Only now have Idecided to upgrade to FC5. I was new to Linux when I set up FC2. I have notset up or upgraded to a new OS since that time. I am still a newbee tosetting up and configuring Linux and Fedora.
I cannot get the GUI to display. The system boots up at the command promptand asks for the login at the same.
I have a ViewSonic VG800 monitor and an ATI 9600 Pro video card. The motherboard is an ABIT IS7
The installation could only be done using "linux text", I figured then I wasgoing to have a problem with the GUI.

Using text mode to install will cause the installer to ASSUME you wantrun mode 3 when you boot. All is well. Just edit /etc/inittab andchange the default run level to 5 and you will return to 'normal' operation.
