Couple Linux Problems Here.
Check it.
I just installed Mandrake on the other hard drive but get as far as the login. I login correctly and everything but then I don't know how to get to the Graphical User Interface known as KDE (i think). Please help the linux novice. |

Not sure but in Red Hat after you login you would type "startx" or "xstart". With out the "" of course.
Hope this helps.

Just to iterate the command is startx .. Linux like all UNIXes are case sensitive.

The last version of Mandrake that I tried (7.2) could not start X with the command startx as there wasn't an .xinitrc in the home directory (or in the default one -- /etc/X11/xinit ?), so I would just copy one into your home directory if you get some errors.
something like this maybe: #!/bin/sh # Sample .xinitrc shell script exec startkde |
