Dear Experts,<br />
<br />
I just installed Redhat Enterprise Linux 5.2 on my new server and it went straight into text mode after the installation. I'm not too good with text commands so I need to find a way to go into graphic mode. I've been able to login with root and password, but past that I haven't been able to do much. I've tried Ctrl + Alt F1, F2 and F7 but no luck. Also tried xwindow and start w but it doesn't recognise any of the commands i`m giving it.<br />
<br />
What can I do to go to graphic mode?<br />
<br />
Thanks!
