SELinux can really complicate matters for Linux newbies. I
recommend you disable it on install. This may clear up
problems 1 through 3.
Problem 4 is often due to updates defaulting to the same
server. After you reinstall, check out this webpage on how
to change your configuration files to use a mirror instead of
the overloaded redhat servers:

I'm sure you'll still have issues after you do these two
things, but try them first then come back to us.
Good luck; Linux is hard to learn but very gratifying once you get it!

Subject: Newbie needing help
Sorry to bother you all, but I can't read anymore.
I am a complete newbie to Linux and trying to learn it on my
own. Bought "A Practical Guide to Red Hat Linux: Fedora Core
and Red Hat Enterprise Linux", 2nd ed. Came with installation
for 2.6 Kernel. I followed steps except I used $linux selinux
for install. Now I am having issues.
1. Can only sign on with the root account - other account
"john" created fails
2. Signed in as root, I can't browse /home/john
3. Log in fine with KDE but Gnome crashes and freezes
4. up2date has lots of potential updates, but I have been
unable to download or install a single one.
I have reinstalled (since I couldn't get very far) but the
same issues appear. Any help would be appreciated.
Signed,
Aaron Wraight
Windows user trying Linux

system-cofnig-securitylevel command or applications->system
configuration->Security Level, go to the SELinux tab and disable.
You WILL *have* to reboot for the changes to take effect. Don't be
surprised, though... You'll still see an audit message at boot time, it
is normal since the kernel itself is SELinux capable and thus it does
this, even it SELinux is not used.<br>
