I really don't know what the heck is going on, but this is what happened.
When the installation of the nVidia driver totally screwed up my
machine, it simply booted to runlevel 3.

commenting out the "glx" line. This allowed

I don't think the downable nVidia source rpms work with the 2.4.19
kernel, yet. I installed the GLX and kernel source rpms on a system

probably need to reinstall the whole thing. Ditto for Red Hat 8.0 Null.
For the time being,
For non-network installations, Mandrake 9.0 seems to have problems with
Samba. I understand some workarounds are being documented.
