If you prefer the login Screen Red Hat uses or the Default Kde one you can install them and set them up via. as Su or Via Install Software. For the Redhat style one urpmi gdm Kde's default urpmi kdm Then run Mandrake Control Centre. Menu > System > Configuration > configure your computer. Go system > Display Manager. And choose which ever you prefer then reboot. OR Save any work. Press ctrl + alt + F1 Login as root and run the commands. init 3 then once thats finished. (init 3 is a partial reboot shuts down all graphical apps) init 5 (init 5 is full GUI). > 5. Hardware problems... > > When ever I do a warm boot I loose the onboard lan card.

Install the updates and the updated Kernel if there is one. As explained in my first email. To install the newest Kernel avaliable you'll need to run urpmi --update kernel After installing the other updates. If it offers a list of different kernels you want the 2.6.X-Xmdk one not one of the other odd ones. Chad > > Cheers Don
