Not sure where to ask this (Don't think there's an SNF Mail list and if there is, its hidden in some cave somewhere run by a Yogi who subsists on rice & fish with my luck).
Anyway... To the point of this email... or blunt end...whichever you prefer. I've successfully setup the SNF Distro that Mandrake (Kindly? Cruelly?) has made available to D/L. (As an aside, get Rid of that link for the HTML Installation guide! Its NOT THERE! Talk about a tease! sheesh...). Ahem, as i was saying, I d/led it & got it installed. Teensy problem: I get the error: X-window settings error, X-window respawning too fast. Disabling X for 5 mins. (ARGH!?) OK so...Off to the web I go! (Sung to the tune of The Wizard of Oz)... Found the error: My stupid video card isn't properly enabled somehow (read: It needs help & counselling...but i'm too stupid to provide hand holding). So, what to do? Well on a Normal Linux distro from MDK I just do a "XFDrake -expert" command on the CLI. Now, being a good little Penguin-in-training, I went to invoke this heartfelt command. ERROR: Command not found! BLARGH!? WTF? .... OK fine, theres gotta be another way... No Xsetup, Diskdrake, setup, X-anything!? ACK!? Couldn't find help files either!... hm... so... I'm stranded...? So... what to do? I d/led the PDF File (Useless futile gesture as that was)...hoping it would have something in it. Nada. So... I turn to you dear Warriors of Linux! Help a fellow Amazonian to overcome this heartbreaking & Difficult period of Non-Guiness! If the points not been made clear enough, I want a GUI! Damnit! Call me a wimp, but I need it to set this shit up & the command line ain't helping me. :) Ty much -- Femme Good Decisions You boss Made: "We'll do as you suggest and go with Linux.
