You should also type the command 'man afterboot' and read the afterboot man(ual) page thoroughly. This will give you some more commands to read about too. The command 'man' is your friend. You should also check out 'man man' and 'man startx'. You've got a lot of reading to do.

Next step is to enter the command startx. This will launch the graphical interface, in your case probably Gnome Desktop. When you exit the desktop you will be returned to this command prompt. To shut down the computer try one of these commands: halt shutdown now powerdown As soon as possible create a "real" user. Running as root is unsafe, it is too easy to make a fatal mistake. dc On Thursday 20 May 2004 03:14, Mr.Shock wrote: > Hello, > I have recently installed Red Hat linux version 9 onto my computer. > And the installing process went fine.
