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?
