Re: headless or desktop?
Great news i got it done
thank you all for your help
i tried yum groupinstall "X Window System again
and it worked cool
so i hope this may help some people out
in the end this is what worked for me
1 anahi installed express cd
log in as root
su -
yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"
yum groupinstall "X Window System"
to log in to Gnome startx
to stop gnome ctrl+alt f1 (gnome is still running ctrl+alt f7 to bring gnome back) type killall X to quit Gnome (must be root)
if there is a better way to stop gnome let me know
hope this helps

Awesome. Would you mind updating the wiki to include this guidance?
