trying to get gnome to run!!!

[bruce]

arrgghh!!

forgive me in advance if this is the wrong group!

i have rh 8.0. i'm trying to get gnome to come up. when i remotely login
using VNC i get the xterm. as i'm not a linux guru... does anyone have any
really good/quick suggestions as to what i might need to do to get gnome to
start.

the "rpm -qa | grep gnome" provides a number of gnome related rpms. when i
installed the linux awhile ago, i selected gnome as the user interface (or i
thought i did...)

the various suggestions that i've seen via google haven't really given me
any useful insight....

any help would be greatly appreciated...

thanks
