I've installed RH on a couple of machines that's networked together with a cross-connect. During one installation, I said to go ahead and start with the text start-up. On the other, I said to start up with the GUI. Now that I've done so, I've got a couple of options of what I want to do next.
1. Edit the file in RH that would change the text start-up machine so that it will boot into a GUI login screen. This is preferable, so if someone could point me towards the proper file to edit. I could probably look at the same file in the one that does go into GUI mode, and copy from there.

2. I learn how to get startx to initialize KDE, or Gnome, or whatever. If someone can tell me how to do that, I may just go with that.

I'd appreciate any input that anyone can give me. Thanks for your time.

Just edit /etc/inittab

change the line:

id:3:initdefault:

to

id:5:initdefault:

in order to boot directly into Xwindows.
