Folks,
I am a rookie to the Linux world...After installing Redhat 7.2 on my IBM Thinkpad, how do I get to the GUI mode after I login using root...When I type in startx, I received a message "exceve failed for /etc/x11/x (errno 2) giving up. xinit: no such file or directory (errno 2) unable to connect to X server xinit : No such process (errno 3) Server error." It is speaking Chinese to me...Can someone get me out of this mess...Please...I just want my GUI...I am not ready for the text and command world in Linux just yet...Thanks...
