Ok so i need help with fedora! please

[supergreek]

Today i managed to get fedora core 6 on my pc in text mode. Now when i boot and fedora loads it goes directly into the text command interpreter. How can i access the gui? Is there a command to enter?

(ps. Fedora 6 came with my linux book. Ill upgrade later)

Type: startx at the command prompt. If that works, go to the /etc/inittab file and check to see what that you have a line like this:
id:5:initdefault:

Should be a 5, if not change it.

If you get xorg errors after running "startx", try configuring the graphics settings using system-config-display.

Ok it worked, but i cant figure out how to edit the innit file could someone please explain? my guess is that this will make fedora boot into the gui by default instead of into the shell. Right?

After you boot, go to menu Services and select gdm if you have Gnome or kdm if you have KDE. This way it will boot into the graphical login manager.

Log in as root user and open /etc/inittab file as suggested by daark.child.
Replace id:3:initdefault: with id:5:initdefault:. Save file and reboot machine.
