[SOLVED] Fresh install, boot to GUI?

[sea]

Heyas,

And know there are several methods how to achieve this goal, however they are depending on the system one uses.

Afaik, one would achieve the boot to GUI with...
SystemD:

ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/runlevel5.target  /etc/systemd/system/default.target

But, i've also read that one had to symlink /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target to /etc/....default.target.
Both methods didnt work for my minimal F16.

Another method would be to edit /etc/inittab, that's working, for my arch install, but is not applicable to F16+.
Also i dont know how to 'label' this (like the above is systemd

I thought that F15 and earlier had used the same as Arch is still using.

Questions:
A) Why doesnt the symlink work on my F16 minimal install?
B) Whats the -old- method named like? (Where the new is SystemD).

Thank you in advance.

EDIT:
'Old way': http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/...oting-GUI.html

EDIT2:
The error when trying to boot into GUI is... it just freezes, i can switch to another Virtual Console and login, and then start (for example) lxdm manualy as root and log in to GUI.

Can't really tell without the log files showing what happened.

It is very likely that a minimal install doesn't have gdm/kdm/xdm for use.

True that, but i had installed them (LXDE, LXDM) before (trying) doing the changes to boot into gui.
Sadly dont have any logs saved, as the last try was last year, so'm heading to a new try, and will be posting errors along the road.

Try to see if you can get some error messages by swiching the runlevel.
Here the doc: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/System...he_runlevel.3F

Fedora used to use a SysV init with runlevels and a maze of symlinks, whereas Arch
uses BSD-style init with a single rc.conf. To appreciate the simplicity of Arch, look in
the /etc/rc.d directory.

Runlevels are still there in Arch, they just aren't used for much. If you're feeling ambitious,
runlevels 2 and 4 are available for whatever you want to try.

Thank you guys.
Figured there was a typo in the script, which was causing the issue.
Just to be complete, error messages (this time) was empty, at least with:

dmesg|grep EE

But still, according to F14 docs, i cant see much diffrences between SysV and Arch's BSD style.
Both need to edit /etc/inittab, just for arch its additional the /etc/rc.conf.
And the edits are pretty much identical, as far i understand it.

So as the title issue is solved, i mark it so.
Thanks again for your inputs.
