<br>I installed all packages including MySQL DB, X Window System, GNOME etc. on installation of XS 5.2. Unfortunately, after installation I tried to run MySQL and it did not run. It was not installed. X Windows did not seem to installed. I had checked both these during installation. I know GUI is not is not important for most network admins, but I just wanted to know why the stable installation disc does not install them even though I checked them. </blockquote>
<div><br>I'm not on the dev team, but I've installed MySQL and X Windows on an XS. Those packages are not on the XS install media, so it doesn't matter if you check them during the install process.<br> </div>

Had to freshly install.</blockquote>
<div><br>Did you do yum groupinstall? You can see which groups are available with yum grouplist. For example, you can do:<br><br>yum groupinstall X Window System<br>yum groupinstall GNOME Desktop Environment<br>yum groupinstall MySQL Database<br>
