Hello . i'm posting on behalf of my friend who can't access the net . He's installed linux redhat 9.0 in graphical mode and choosed minimum installation . He's formatted the drives and his hd is 30gb . He was asked to choose a password while installing . After the installation process completed , he had to give his username as " root " and his choosen password to get in . The problem is , he can't see anything in graphical mode . All he sees after logging in as the root user is something like " rootuser@localhost root " and nothing else . please provide directions on how to get to the mouse-dependent desktop environment and how not to log in as root and the benifit of doing so .
