Probably need to disable APACHE in Mandrake's startup, I
would guess. I'm in much the same boat as you -- an
experienced neophyte. ;-) I've been running Linux (mostly)
on my machine here at work (occasionally rebooting to
Windows <UGH!>) for over 6 months. Just last week, I put
the finishing touches (hardware-wise that is) on my SMP
Linux box. Now I have to recompile the kernel. :-) Oh,
well...
Anyhow, APACHE is installed by default, so that's the
likely problem. Type "setup" from the Root console prompt
and disable APACHE under " System Services."
