I loaded Mandrake 8.2 and was going through the networking setup after 
loading the wireless RPM when the workstation started acting goofy. The 
networking setup window did not close upon request and was still showing an 
hour glass 90 minutes after selecting 'Close.' I finally killed the process.

My desktop icons also disappeared during this time and I could not log 
out/shut down. I had to force a hard shut down. Linux wanted to check the 
file system integrity upon boot-up. I thought it was a good idea, too.

However upon boot-up, I am able to log in at a command prompt, but no 
further. The limit of my *nix command knowledge is 'ls -l' from 15 years 
ago when I administered a Xenix system for my employer.

How do I load the graphical interface? Do I need to start over?

TIA
