    I think the command to start the x server thing is “startx”. that’s what it was on Backtrack at least…

    If you installed in text mode, maybe you didn’t install X. You probably have a text mode browser. Try lynx or elinks. If the startx command doesn’t work, try “yum install x-window-system”. By the way, Fedora 5 is old. The current version of Fedora is 9.
