Hi!,

Ok nothing major here. You are booting into runlevel 3. Also knowen as the CLI. After you log in, type "startx" without quoes. This starts the x-server and you should be taken to the KDE desktop.

Now this is a good way to start your OS. But if want to start in the graphic mode, go to the menu, click on Configuration, click on Mandrake Control Center, enter your root password, click ok, then click on the boot icon, then select Launch Graphic startup on boot. Click Ok. Then the next time you boot you will see a graphical login prompt.
