The Amahi 7 Express Disc install does not install the graphical user interface gnome. To This Guide instructs you on how to install after the chosen desktop if using Fedora 19 or later. After Amahi Express has finished installing , execute the following commands:

Become root:  su - Enter your password for the root user. Now you will enter the command that will install the various packages to create a usable GUI. For users who would like Gnome 3, enter  yum -y install @gnome For the users who want Mate, enter  yum -y install @mate For the users who want XFCE, enter  yum -y install @xfce There are several other GUI desktop environments that are easy to install this way. To list all the available environment groups enter this in the command line  yum group list == Configure Your Display == If you used the above method of installing a graphical desktop then you will not need to configure X11. == Force GUI on Boot == Next we need to make sure it boots into init 5. This used to be done by editing the inittab to use 5 instead of 3 as it's default. In Fedora 19 and above the inittab is not used. Instead, issue command to make the graphical user interface the default.  ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target You can now either reboot or boot into the GNOME/KDE Desktop:  startx

The /etc folder on these Linux installations contain a file named inittab - mind You can also remove the GUI if you no extensions want to switch to the filenameanother Desktop Environment or go back to a headless install. This file contains lots of important parameters & runlevel configurations that the kernel reads while booting and configures the system accordingly. Open To do this file in your favourite editor and scroll down just a little bit say, till run the 18th-20th line (usually) till you find something similar to thisfollowing command:

As you can see Run the last line id:3:initdefault: specifies WHAT MODE (Graphical/Text/MultiUser etc) following command to boot the system intoremove X completely. The number {{Code|yum groupremove "3X Windows System" which according to the options - is Full multiuser mode - involving all the networking features of Linux, but in a non-graphical environment.}}

Change this value to <i>NOTE: Replace "5KDE" with "GNOME Desktop Environment" if you installed GNOME</i>- here, according to the Commented out options above tells the system to boot straight into X11 (X-Windows) i.e. the Graphical Mode.>

WARNING: When If you are editing these critical system files in Linux, be absolutely sure of WHAT want a specified user to login (if you are editing. One SINGLE MISTAKE can render using MythTV or some other app which requires the whole system non-bootable.
