Newbie question

[Paul Copeland]

Thanks - It turned out that all I had to do was login as root and run
yum -

yum install emacs 

I think it did a "ton of rpms" but it was painless and fast.

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....
