Minimal is really bare-bones system, and if you are not an expert it will bring you headaches later on, due to the missing stuff. Minimal istall is usually intended for deeply-customized systems, not for regular usage. > then I installed > NetworkManager (yum install NetworkManager) > and at end I added "Switching to a Graphical Login" with the command: > yum groupinstall "X Window System" Desktop. You also probably want to groupinstall some desktop environment (Gnome, XFCE, KDE, LXDE, Sugar), or at least a window manager (fvwm, WindowMaker, etc...). You can find a full list of available window managers via yum search window manager Either way, you probably want to do some research on which DE (or WM) you'll want to use. > [root@crot ~]# startx It is generally considered a Very Bad Idea to run X as root. Aside from security reasons, you'll have all sorts of trouble with system permissions, SELinux, etc., and there will be some GUI apps which will (by design) outright refuse to run as root. Better create a regular user account for yourself and startx from there.
