Normally with Linux you don't re-install but as you might have
problems caused by missing packages and you are a new user, I'd say go
ahead and do it and this time choose "Everything".
When you are given the option menu for the Daemons to start at boot up
make sure that "gated" is _not_ selected.
Once you've finished you should visit the Red Hat site and install the
updates that _aren't_ already on your system.
