[newbie] KDE, GNOME start-up problems

[Andrew Breeden]

Greetings from O-town, Mickey-ville aka Orlando, FL!

  I have Mandrake 7.2 installed on a Gateway laptop. Each and every time I
boot-up the laptop Mandrake defaults to 'console' mode. I can't figure out
how to start KDE or GNOME. I have KDE set as my default X Window
environment. Any advice would be much appreciated...

Peace!
Andrew
