[Lvlug] Finally Installed Red Hat 6.2- Need Assistance

[dann s washko]

First, a few questions

Who are you logging in as?
Are there any error messages during boot or when you log in?
Is there anything displayed when you execute:

    ls -a

You should see some hidden files like .bash_profile and .bashrc

Execute
echo $PATH


What is the path for your account?

startx is in /usr/X11R6/bin so what happens if you issue

/usr/X11R6/bin/startx

What type of install did you do (i.e.; workstation, custom)?
