Section C.4:Problems After 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.
C.4.2 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.
If you selected either the custom- or workstation-class installation and do not see the graphical login
screen, check your hardware for compatibility issues. The Hardware Compatibility List can be found
at http://hardware.redhat.com.
C.4.3 Does Netscape Navigator Crash on JavaScript Pages?
If Netscape Navigator continuously crashes on pages that contain JavaScripts, you may need to edit
your ~/.mailcap file.
Edit the file using pico by typing pico ~/.mailcap at the prompt in a terminal window. (You
may use any text editor.)
Remove the following lines from the file:
application/x-javascript;;\
x-mozilla-flags=save
You can also turn off JavaScript within Netscape Navigator itself.

If these do not help, you can also try to use a newer version of Netscape Navigator if available. Check
the Red Hat Linux errata website under security advisories for more information.
