XFCE desktop

During the initial install of F9 I chose XFCE desktop in the customize section.
This was along with Gnome and KDE.
Is there something I have to run from the command line in order to get this desktop up ??
I am running F9 as a guest system using VMware on a Vista Home Premium host machine.

Thanks for any help.

Larry

There have been several threads on this forum about this very issue. With F9, even though you checked to have the XFCE DE installed during the initial install, F9 didn't install it. Open a command line terminal, as root,

yum groupinstall "XFCE"

Pablo two I thank you for the response. I did several searches on the forums but did not get the threads you spoke of.
