Up until a year ago I used Amigas. Then I got a laptop pc running windows.
Recently I got a PC box with a very simple "Internet Appliance" linux system
on it. Now I have installed Linux Mandrake 7.2. I have managed to get it to
startup and show a screen where I can login as root or as a user, and thus
get into a bash shell.
However, I haven't found out how to get into a graphical interface, either
KDE or Gnome. when the system is booting it runs by lots of things but I
don't see anything that appears to me that would allow me to get into KDE or
Gnome.
I never seem to see the little window that my manual shows that shows
"Session type" and then a pull down item with KDE in it.".
Can someone give me a clue as to what I need to look for?
TIA
Richard
