dexter11 Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Xorg is the software which provides graphic screen, you removed it -> no GUI. Install it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 A urpmi xorg should get you up and running again, although it might prompt for something, you might need to put urpmi xorg-server, or something, but once that's back on, you'll get the gui again.
