Hey all, 1st time linux user here. After browsing the web for hours and hours, on how to install mandriva i gave in and thought idd ask for help. I have managed to install it on my laptop and after the installation it comes to a halt at this screen: http://img215.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1000225zw0.jpg I then type my local username and password, then it brings me to: [thomas@localhost ~]$ After that there is nothing.... What is the easiest way to get to the desktop.. do i install gnome desktop or KDE? i can only narrow it down to 2 things, either i have installed a weird version of mandriva OR not typing commands/installed it correctly... Please help me out, its doing my noot in and i want to play around Thanks in advance Tom
hey, i have tried this installation on both of them, gnome and kde... all with the same results, and as for startx, the end result is a Error of some sort, ill give it another bash though
