Problem was 24M is shared with the video card so the installer insisted

I DID install gnome and specified it as my interface. But when I do an
init 5, I come up in X not Gnome.

What do I have to change to fix this aberrant behaviour?

Edit /etc/inittab file to reflect as shown below

id:5:initdefault:
^
This number should be 5.


Oh, for those not familiar with Centos 5, it is basically RedHat
Enterprise 5 which is based on FC6. Or so I am told anyway!
