Help installing Xwindows

[Psion 0]

I've been trying (unsuccesfully) to set up a hardware firewall/router/proxy - see this thread http://www.linuxcompatible.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1165

 

Since I am completely new to Linux, I haven't a clue... ;( I have the basics of Fedora Core 1 installed but no graphic desktop, so I'm sitting here staring at a flashing cursor and not a foggiest what to do next.

 

Can someone please help me install a graphic desktop, I think this might make things a little easier. Please be gentle, this is a lot harder than I expected... :x

What happens when you type:

 

gdm [enter]

 

or:

 

startx [enter]

 

?

 

If you get error messages, please tell us what they are.

If I type 'startx' - I get >

 

"-bash: startx: command not found"

 

If I type 'gdm' - I get >

 

"-bash: gdm: command not found"

 

and I'm back to that flashing cursor again...
