If you performed a server installation and you are having trouble getting X to start, you may not have installed the X Window System during your installation.
If you want the X Window System, you can perform an upgrade to install X. During the upgrade, select the X Window System packages, and choose GNOME, KDE, or both.
Alternatively, you can install the XFree86 RPMs. For more information, refer to http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/howto/XFree86-upgrade/XFree86-upgrade.html.
If you did not create a user account during the installation you will need to log in as root and use the password you assigned to root.
If you cannot remember your user account password, you must become root. To become root, type su - and enter your root password when prompted. Then, type passwd <username>. This allows you to enter a new password for the specified user account.
If you selected either the custom or workstation installation and do not see the graphical login screen, check your hardware for compatibility issues. The Hardware Compatibility List can be found at http://hardware.redhat.com.
If you are not sure how to set up your printer or are having trouble getting it to work properly, try using the graphical printconf program. Log in as root, open a terminal window, and type printconf-gui.
