Fedora Problem

[Randolph]

I just installed Fedora Core 3 and I need help. I get this terminal thing asking me for my username and password. Then I get a prompt, how do I load the desktop or w/e?

and to always start in startx do the folowing

#>vi /etc/inittab <enter>

#>

# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
#   0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#   1 - Single user mode
#   2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
#   3 - Full multiuser mode
#   4 - unused
#   5 - X11
#   6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#
id:3:initdefault:

edit the id:3 to 5 so it looks like

# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
#   0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#   1 - Single user mode
#   2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
#   3 - Full multiuser mode
#   4 - unused
#   5 - X11
#   6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#
id:5:initdefault:

now to save and exit do the following

press esc + press ":" + press "wq" on keyboard .. this will exit you from editor

( allow the aboce is from terminal windows with root user)

You may want to use mcedit if you cant get your head around vi... Took me a good while to learn to use vi
