Please help this Dos fool with Linux.
I have installed redhat version 6.1 but I am struggleing to get the GUI to
come up.  My system keeps on booting into a command prompt.  Information
that I have found suggested I edit the /etc/inittab file.  The lines to be
changed are:-
id:3:initdefault:
to
id:5:initdefault:

I have managed with my limited knowledge of linux and unix to get into the
file and to change the appropriate line but I have not been able to save the
changes.  Is this the only method of getting the GUI to come in or does
anyone else have other suggestions.  Also some instruction on how to save
the edeted changes would be helpfull

Thanks to all you help
