If you are having trouble getting X (the X Window System) to start, you may not have installed it during your installation.

If you want X, you can either install the packages from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD-ROMs or perform an upgrade.

Refer to the chapter titled Installing and Updating Red Hat Linux Packages in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Step By Step Guide for more information on installing from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD-ROMs.

If you elect to upgrade, select the X Window System packages, and choose GNOME, KDE, or both, during the upgrade package selection process.
