To see what packages you have installed run this from a command line: rpm -qa |more If you are looking for a particular package you can use grep: rpm -qa |grep gnome This will show you those packages with gnome in the package names. To install additional packages I recommend, as I am sure other will, you use up2date or yum. These tools will handle the dependencies for installing a particular package. Please configure yum to use a mirror site. If left at the defaults it hits the main red hat repository which is over loaded and will provide poor response. yum install gnome-desktop or if you just need to update the package: yum update gnome-desktop To update all installed packages on your system: yum update Check out the man page for yum or one of the web sites that details this. -- Scot L.
