Fedora Core 1 Install problem: X-window ? (SOLVED)

[mailing-lists at dragoneyedesign.net]

thank you for all your help guys,

the problem was my ATI RADEON 9800 drivers,
I had to download those and boot in runlevel 3 to install them after doing
that everything works fine, except my modem (see my other post for that)
