The Amahi Express install does not install the graphical user interface gnome. To install after amahi Amahi Express has installed type finished installing execute the following commands:
== Commands ==
yum -y groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"
First and foremost you should be logged in as root.
The /etc folder on these Linux installations contain a file named inittab - mind you no extensions to the filename. This file contains lots of important parameters & runlevel configurations that the kernel reads while booting and configures the system accordingly. Open this file in your favourite editor and scroll down just a little bit say, till the 18th-20th line (usually) till you find something similar to this:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#
id:3:initdefault:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
As you can see the last line id:3:initdefault: specifies WHAT MODE (Graphical/Text/MultiUser etc) to boot the system into. The number "3" 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 "5" - here, according to the Commented out options above tells the system to boot straight into X11 (X-Windows) i.e. the Graphical Mode.
That's it. We are done. Save the file and quit. Reboot your system for the setting to take effect.
WARNING: When you are editing these critical system files in Linux, be absolutely sure of WHAT you are editing. One SINGLE MISTAKE can render the whole system non-bootable. These are as dangerous as (if not more) Windows Registry. So there.... smile.gif
