[NBLUG/talk] Starting in gdm rather than xdm

[Todd Cary]

In order to avoid having a read error from the installer after well 
along the process, I decided to try loading the minimal Linux and then 
installing what I need.  But that is requiring me to expand my knowlege 
about the installation/boot process (not a bad thing).

So, I used yum to install the GNOME grouplist and I set the ID in 
inittab to 5 so it would boot in the graphical mode.  That did not 
happen, so I loaded the X-Window grouplist and it did bring me into the 
graphical mode (after asking me the setup questions I usually get when I 
do an install in the Graphical mod).

Now my main question is "how do I get Linux to come up in Gnome"?  It is 
coming up in what I suspect is X-Windows.

Again, many thanks for your help and patience....
