Hi Kent,

I've been using Redhat for about a year now. I know it fairly well, but
I have to admit I'm a bit "gui dependent".

I didn't see X window system, but I did see desktop system. I went ahead
and installed it. Unfortunately, it installed kde and gnome with it. I
didn't see an option to have it not do that. Anyway, after installing I
type "startx" and get this error message:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xservrc: /usr/bin/X11/X: No such file or
directory
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xservrc: exec: /usr/bin/X11/X: cannot execute:
No such file or directory
giving up.
Never saw a program give up before, so that was interesting.

Tried that, but still the same error.
Is there something else I need to do?
