I've been running Mandrake 7.0 for a while, I'm dual-booting with Windows
using a floppy boot (at the moment).
Recently I went to boot Mandrake and it boots fine up to the point where it
flips into graphics mode, where it would hang and the screen would go black.
I managed to boot just to a shell login prompt and ran xf86config, which I
thought was the right thing to do.
However, now it just boots to a shell login prompt every time. If I do
"startx" it freezes (until I do a ctrl-Z and then kill the process).
How do I get back into the graphical login (and get it working?)
The only thing I know that's changed since the last time it worked was I
added a firewall to my system, so I know that I need to change my IP address
and TCP/IP settings, but I don't remember how to do that from the shell, the
desktop would be so much easier. I really don't know if this is related to
my problem (it would be really weak if your desktop quits just because you
have a bad IP address).
Any help is appreciated!
