Lovely. Except you got it wrong. it's "yum groupinstall gnome-desktop", not "yum install groupinstall".

Thanks for the tip.

It might also be worth pointing out that you can switch to GUI (X11) console mode from a text console using "init 5".

You can make GUI (X11) console mode the default by changing "id:3:initdefault:" to "id:5:initdefault:" (i.e. 3 -> 5) in /etc/inittab.
