toubles during installation

[Rajneesh Subbraman]

Hi,
  This is regarding the troubles encountered during the linux server installation.  linux server is installed using boot cd at first. and then,
1. How to install X window server?  
2. How to mount a cdrom(ide)?
3. ls commands(/cdrom) lists nothing under cdrom. what may be the reason?
4.autorun(/cdrom) shows error (kfmclient : cannot connect to X server)
I humbly request ur group to mail me solutions for the above problems faced.
bye
rajneesh.

I am sorry you are having problems with using linux, but this is not the 
appropriate forum for your queries. This mailing list discusses the 
multitude of problems with Insight, a graphical user interface for GDB, 
the GNU Debugger.

X Windows on a server? Do you really want to add a bunch of junk onto a 
server? Sounds like asking for trouble to me, but it is your network...

It sounds like you've installed Red Hat Linux using the "Server" option. 
Servers don't get X, KDE, gnome et al in this installation mode. May I 
suggest reading through the Red Hat Linux Installation Guide?

Try "man mount". You must (obviously) have a cdrom in the drive before you 
attempt to mount it.

You need to mount the cdrom first. (I thought the cdrom gets mounted on 
/mnt/cdrom? You can check /etc/fstab to find out for sure.)

Dunno, but it's another X thing. Once X is running, this should go away 
anyway.
