Hello,
I haven't posted forever due to stupid boot sector virus, just now getting my linux station up and running. I have somewhat of a stupid question though. I have mandrake 10.1 offical... Is this the same as Mandriva 10.1 offical. I know Mandriva is now Mandrake. Are they two names for the same thing or would I be smarter to get Manrivea 10.1 official?
10.1 is 10.1. Only the company name has changed due to the merger with Conectiva Linux. In a similar vein, Mandrake 10.2 is Mandriva LE 2005 - the name Mandrake 10.2 was changed at the last minute to Mandriva LE 2005 but you can still find many references to 10.2 that were overlooked.
it wont log me in or anything at start up.
I have it installed and set up to auto login and stuff but it will just load up a blue back ground and my mouse
Thanks for the help but I got really frustrated last night and decided to install Fedora. I have several linux distros laying around, believe it or not I am not that new to Linux and can do several things in it, that is why I was confused. Another guy suggested that it was a bad install. I read the site you linked though. That would seem it would work but I don't have it anymore, I get frustrated easily really late at night.
