Damn, Thank you so much. I'm looking at my new Mandrake Workstation.

I have to learn about this stuff from the CLI. Where is a good place to start? I have no mentor that is willing to start from scratch. Will a dummies book teach CLI step by step?

 Ben, I'm not sure where you wanted me to type in chkconfig --del
 internet (with 2 dashes like that??) But i tried at the boot up and I
 tried where it was freezing on me, to no avail.
Best way to do it is to do this:
Boot off the install CD.
At the boot prompt type "rescue"
If it asks you want to "install" off the CDROM (you're not really
installing but the dialogs are written like you are).
After the system boots up you'll get a shell.
Type "chroot /mnt"
Then "chkconfig --del internet"
Then "exit"
Then "reboot"

Take the CD out of the drive and it ought to get past the whole checking
internet connections stuff...
