I assume you mean RHEL 5.1, not rh 5.1 (I actually started using linux with rh
5.2). <g>

Looks like you did either a server or minimal install. You could rerun the
install,  Lessee, they've got a gui tool, which of course won't work. Esp. if
you haven't customized it yet, just rerun the install and take either
workstation or custom install, and make sure X and emacs (under editors*) are
checked for installation. Otherwise, there's a ton of rpms....
