Several issues in fedora 11

[rafael1122]

Hi all ,

i`m very new to fedora , to linux actually ...so forgive me if i sound little noobish

for some problems like this

r8169 : eth1 : link up

i couldn`t open fedora in a GUI...so i tired to open it
ALT + F4 and then log in ...and write "startx"

it came up with an error message

/usr/bin/X : error while loading shared libraries : libfreetype.so.6 : cannot open shared object file : no such file or directory

i figured out the it`s a freetype problem , so i tired to remove then re-install it again

so

yum remove freetype

the problem is...it asked me if i want to remove all programes using freetype...so stupid me said "yes"..
and yum removed Xorg..Gnome panels..even pidgin..and firefox...
it almost removed 75% of the system...

my question is ..
is there any way to RESTORE what yum removed without installing it one by one...?

or i just have to reinstall fedora again ?

I believe you can get most everything back with

su -c
yum groupinstall gnome-desktop

The following should reinstall GNOME and other dependencies

yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"
