The Amahi 7 Express Disc install does not install the graphical user interface gnome. This Guide instructs you on how to install the X Server as well as to make the X Server boot everytimechosen desktop if using Fedora 19 or later. To install after 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 ==

Enter your password for Next we need to make sure it boots into init 5. This used to be done by editing the root 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 userinterface the default.

yum ln -y groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"sf /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target

First and foremost If you should be logged wish to disable this in as rootthe future and/or want to uninstall the GUI run the following command. This will cause your HDA to boot into init 3 again.

The ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/etc folder on these Linux installations contain a file named inittab multi- mind you no extensions to the filenameuser. This file contains lots of important parameters & runlevel configurations that the kernel reads while booting and configures the target /etc/systemd/system accordingly/default. 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:target

# 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:== Package Removal ==

As you You can see also remove the last line id:3:initdefault: specifies WHAT MODE (Graphical/Text/MultiUser etc) GUI if you want to switch to boot the system into. The number "3" which according another Desktop Environment or go back to the options - is Full multiuser mode - involving all the networking features of Linux, but in a non-graphical environmentheadless install.To do this run the following command:

Change this value to {{Code|yum groupremove "5KDE" - 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 Run the setting following command to take effectremove X completely.{{Code|yum groupremove "X Windows System"}}

WARNING<i>NOTE: When Replace "KDE" with "GNOME Desktop Environment" if 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 noninstalled GNOME</i>--bootable. These are as dangerous as (if not more) Windows Registry. So there.... smile.gif>
