Can't start GNOME

[Brandon Dorman <brandond lightspeed net>]

Hi,

     I have RH 6.0.  Because of previous installs that failed, my cd got
scratched.  (long story)  I couldn't install GNOME off the cd, so I just
did KDE.  Now I've downloaded GNOME, but when I rpm it, it will install,
but I can't get it to run.  I'm sure it's easy, but I don't see it.
switchdesk-gnome says something about gdk something.  How do you get to
just an x prompt?  I control-F1'd to get to that, but I know it's not
true commandline because typing, "startx" will bring up stuff saying
that the x server is already running.  Thanks.
