Well... it's highly unadvisable to login as root in KDE/Gnome, due to the high risk of breaking stuff badly, but if you're using KDE, you should be able to go to the Control Center, System Administration, Login Manager (or whatever Mandrake calls it).

Hint: look for a way to specify manual entry of username (as opposed to a predefined list). Also, there are often options to hide admin accounts in the user lists...

If you're on Gnome not KDE, I can't help... let us know which it is and I'm sure somebody knows.

You should be able to use the gui tools for admin work, using sudo in the
terminal to open the gui app. Example:

bash$ sudo kwrite /var/www/html/index.html

bash$ cd folder_where_crossover_file_is         (get to the file)
bash$ chmod a+x crossoverfile                   (make it executable)
bash$ ./crossoverfile                           (run it in current directory)

Hope that helps, post details if you need more assistance.

Thanks Max,got crossover installed.Guess I was not clear enough about the login.I would like to have the option,at boot screen to login in as a user or admin.I had it set that way once and a reboot showed both but after closing mandrake,I did not get that option again?Thanks!
