Pranaam to all bhai ji _/\_
Sometime we use such Linux ISO which comes with minimum packages or you can say an ISO with only those packages which are required by Linux system.
Such system is also known as "minimal system"
These are used by those peoples who want to build system according to the need, because it doesnt contain packages other then essential one :)
for example, this is the ISO which even dont have graphical user interface
http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/centos/6.5/isos/i386/CentOS-6.5-i386-minimal.iso
so i am going to add GUI to the system with minimal state >:D<
i like GNOME desktop environment , so i am going to add GNOME interface
to add GNOME GUI interface to CentOS/RedHat/Fedora based system , command is
yum groupinstall 'X window system'
this is 'x window system' which help to load GUI in system
after installation of x window system, install GNOME interface by using command
yum groupinstall 'Desktop'
if you want to install KDE interface , use this command
yum groupinstall 'KDE desktop'
after completion of installation process you need to reboot your system and login to root account
to start GUI insterface, use command
startx
it will start x window system and you will get GUI in your system
But everytime when you will start your system, first you will get CLI interface for login and then you need to execute command startx
if you want that whenever you start your system and it take you to GUI login screen , made a little change in init tab file
we need to change default run level of system
edit file /etc/inittab by using command
vi /etc/inittab
now come down to the last of the file and change the value 3 to 5
run level 3 is for CLI and 5 is for GUI
for more detail about run level , have look on this article
http://www.mannulinux.org/2013/09/run-levels-in-linux.html
press i on keyboard and you will be enter into insert mode and now change value 3 to 5
after editing , press esc key and type :wq! to save and exit vi text editor
and done >:D< now your system will prompt GUI screen after completion of booting process 8-)
Thank you
