Hi,

See, it wasn't hard at all

. You can choose to boot to your user desktop by going into the Mandrake Controll Center and selecting the boot icon and there is an option to boot directly to a user desktop.

You did create a user account? Logging in as root is bad karma and eventually you will do something bad to your system. It is recommended for security to boot to the login screen. That way only someone who knows the pass word can access the system. Even better is to boot into run level 3, (CLI) and then login and type startx.

OOPS!
