Ok, I'm using RedHat Linux 7.1 and I accidently changed the GUI to WindowMaker, and I wanna get Gnome back.

How do I get Gnome back?

I think RedHat comes with switchdesk. Try using that.

Oh heres another question, how do I make it so that redhat linux 7.2 starts up with a GUI log in instead of a command prompt login?

[X_console]

First, read /etc/inittab and it should tell you what runlevel boots into the xdm/kdm/gdm... GUI. On my system it's runlevel 4, it might be different on yours.

Edit /etc/inittab. Look for a line similar to this:

id:3:initdefault:

Change it to this:

id:4:initdefault:

Remember if yours isn't runlevel 4, change the 4 there to whatever yours is. Now if you do a telinit 4 (or whatever number your runlevel is) it should go into GUI boot. The next time you reboot it'll be there as well.

just open /etc/inittab (you must be root)
and one for the first lines is
id:A NUMBER:initdefault:
change it too
id:5:initdefault:

then reboot. it will start up with a gui
