Thanks Gillian;

Its almost like you are psychic, this was the question I was about to 
post to the group.

I just did a minimal install of Fedora so I could learn more about 
packages when I add them as I need them.  I was trying to figure out how 
to get x to start at boot time.

Thanks for the answer.

Sincerely,
