Installing xterm doesn't work. Apparently, for many of these X-based
tools, nobody thought to include X as a dependency.
That use to work. They use to include X as a dependency. But that was
probably F-10 or F-11 last time I actually did that.
But here is an idea. Figure our the apropriate X-server driver for you
graphics card, ( mine is xorg-x11-drv-ati ), and install that. Surely
that will have to get all the libraries and enough for a minimal X-server.
You'll probably need a window manager too. FVWM or TWM should suffice
for your needs and neither should not give you a bunch of crap you wont
need. I normally use FVWM in this case ( on full desktop systems I use
XFCE ), but that's just personal preference.
The last time I set up a headless server with a minimal X, I simply did
a yum -y install xterm fvwm, and that gave enough to run X-apps on a
remote x-server.
If I wanted to use it on the system console from time to time, I also
had to install the xorg-x11-drv for what ever graphics card the system
had in it at the time, which gave me enough of everything to bring up a
local x-server. Nothing fancy, no desk top, but enough so I could run
xterm locally.
Now it seems a lot of stuff is different.
