Thanks! That was very helpful I did - yum install libXp.i386 and yum install emacs and that fixed by current roadblocks! -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Romeo Theriault Sent: Wed 3/5/2008 1:43 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: Newbie question 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 On Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 2:51 PM, Paul Copeland <PCopeland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I installed Redhat 5.1 from a set of 6 CDs I downlaoded from RedHat. > > It looks like I don't have X11 or emacs.
