Could anyone please tell me if there is a command I can use to get  
from text version of fedora to the graphical version?!
This because I am sure of that my F7 doesent work on my keyboard!!

You see I finally got those "yum update" and the nvidia driver  
installation to work, (I think, Surely after I wrote the command "yum  
update", after giving the new repo adress for nvidia, it started  
downloading, at an incredible speed I must say, but now and for the  
last 5 minutes or so, the prosess seemed to stop. I now have a black  
screen full of text!!
I can give u the latest line:
"nautilus-extensions  x86_64  2.22.5.1-1.fc9  updates  45k"!
The above lines are wery simular, just with different names!

What should I do now?
Wait much longer, or try a reboot?

BTW I used the "Live DVD", could not get the "Install DVD" to work  
anymore!

Kind regards:
