If execute graphical tool on a minimal installation of CentOS 6.3, it will cause the failure that this tool cannot be initialized.

This is why I want to add a GUI to CentOS at the moment.
For installing Gnome Desktop, we can execute the
yum command as
yum groupinstall basic-desktop desktop-platform x11 fonts to download & install the related packages from Internet.


To start X Windows by typing
startx command

The X Windows will show up

and we can initialize the Logical Volume Management now.
If we hope that it started on boot, please remember to change the run level from 3 to 5 in
/etc/inittab file.
