Newbie question

[Paul Copeland]

Thanks! That was very helpful

I did -

yum install libXp.i386

and

yum install emacs

and that fixed by current roadblocks!

You'll want to use yum to install these. To install the X11 environment
you'll want to install it's "group". To list available groups that you can
install type:

# > yum grouplist

For example, If you want Gnome installed, you'll want to install the "GNOME
Desktop Environment" group. Install it like this:

#> yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"

You may also have to install the "X Window System" group to get gnome to
work. Not sure on that, you'll just have to try and see.

Installing emacs should be as easy as:

#> yum install emacs

But you'll probably want to see what the repositories have to offer first:

#> yum search emacs | less

HTH's,

Romeo
