RH 6.0
The font server was installed, Linux was workig fine until I changed a font 
setting 'Fixed Font'.
I never actually got into the GUI, it stayed in the dos like black load up 
screen. I managed to log in to localhost root# but didn't know what commands 
to give to change the font setting. I have re-installed and I desperately 
want to get wine working, I just don't understand how to configure it.
