Section B.2:Problems After Installation

This error occurs in some systems where links to /tmp are symbolic to other locations or have been
changed since creation. These symbolic or changed links are invalid during the installation process,
so the installation program cannot write information and fails.

B.2.2 Problems with Server Installations and X
If you performed a server installation and you are having trouble getting X to start, that is because the
X Window System is not installed during a server-class installation.
If you want the X Window System, but you did a server-class installation, you can perform an upgrade
to install X. During the upgrade, select the X Window System packages, and choose GNOME, KDE,
or both.
Alternatively, you can install the XFree86 RPMs. For more information, refer to http://www.red-
hat.com/support/docs/howto/XFree86-upgrade/XFree86-upgrade.html.
B.2.3 Problems When You Try to Log In
If you did not create a user account during the installation you will need to log in as root and use the
password you assigned to root.
If you cannot remember your user account password, you must become root. To become root, type su
- and enter your root password when prompted. Then, type passwd <username>. This allows
you to enter a new password for the specified user account.
B.2.4 Does Netscape Navigator Crash on JavaScript Pages?
