Hello, I have a problem with kickstart under Linux. I would like to use mandrake version 6.0 and I have the same problem with RedHat60. When the configuration is totally automatic and that I have only to insert the floppy disk of boot on the client. When the installation is finish, I can only use the graphical interface KDE and the others don't work and I need to launch KDE by taping xdm or startx. But, when the installation is not totally automatic on the client and that I have to configure manually the mouse, the screen, the root password and the timezone. It works and the graphical interfaces are launched at the boot of the computer. I can now choose between KDE, GNOME and the others grapical interfaces. Any idea?? Can you help me? Thanks Jean-Philippe
