Thanks - It turned out that all I had to do was login as root and run yum - yum install emacs I think it did a "ton of rpms" but it was painless and fast. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of mark Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2008 4:48 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: Newbie question Paul Copeland wrote: > I installed Redhat 5.1 from a set of 6 CDs I downlaoded from RedHat.

You could rerun the install, Lessee, they've got a gui tool, which of course won't work. Esp. if you haven't customized it yet, just rerun the install and take either workstation or custom install, and make sure X and emacs (under editors*) are checked for installation. Otherwise, there's a ton of rpms.... mark * ObFlamebait: IMO, emacs isn't an editor, it's an o/s.
