How can I install KDE to my fedora Core 6 minimal installation? (newbie)

Hi

I am quite new to Fedora (to linux, basically) so please bear with me.

I installed fedora core 6 but I chose to NOT install any desktop environment (nor X windows) since I was planning to only use the command line.

However now I would like to install KDE to use it to edit some files, I tried running:
Quote:
yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"
and it downloaded 160 MB of files and I got a "install succesfull" message (or something like that), then I tried running
Quote:
startx
but I got the following error:

Quote:
xsetroot: unable to open display ''
xset: unable to open display ""
xset: unable to open display ""
xsetroot: unable to open display ''
startkde: Starting up...
ksplash: cannot connect to X server
/usr/bin/startkde: line 380: xprop: command not found
kdeinit: Aborting. $DISPLAY is not set.
Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory
ksmserver: cannot connect to X server
ERROR: Couldn't attach to DCOP server!
startkde: Shutting down...
Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory
Error: Can't contact kdeinit!
startkde: Running shutdown scripts...
/usr/bin/startkde: line 441: xprop: command not found
startkde: Done.
So I guess I am missing something... perhaps X, I don´t know

If I try
Quote:
startx
I get this error:

Quote:
xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.2637

xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): no server "X" in PATH

Use the -- option, or make sure that /usr/bin is in your path and
that "X" is a program or a link to the right type of server
for your display. Possible server names include:

Xorg X.Org displays
I hope someone can help me to get this running, thanks!
