It shouldn't. And why did you install rsyslog? That's the default system
log package in 6.x. Did you install that from something else?

You'll probably have to run whatever snort command once you do a yum
update, or I expect you'll get a lot of false warnings.

You really, REALLY need to do some reading about *Nix systems. The base
install installs video drivers; if you add a desktop install, it will
install its best guess at drivers - they're already there. Unless you've
got multiple monitors, in which case you may well have trouble, then the
gui should just work.
