Try 'startx' from the command line to get into the graphic environment. If you want to use graphic environment after boot: 1. Use 'su' to switch to root 2. edit /etc/inittab file, you can use 'mc', it's much like NC for DOS 3. Change the line "id:3:initdefault" to "id:5:initdefault", you should read comments above that line carefully. 4. Save your changes & reboot. ----------------- Phu -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of MB Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 4:06 PM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Fedora runs in text mode Hello, I installed Fedora core 1 on a Pentium pc. After installation was done (everytrhing worked fine) I used the Redhat Network utility to download updates. After installing all updates I rebooted the machine. In the boot menu I had suddenly 2 versions of Fedora instead of 1 (the old one and the new - the updates?). The problem is: when I choose any of the two Fedora versions I don't get in the graphical mode anymore but the whole booting process AND Fedora runs in text mode. I am fairly new to Linux so text mode is not an option for me. How canI get back in graphic mode again? TIA, Marc __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
