Whoah! This is bad. How much RAM do your really have, Kevin? This says that
Linux itself only sees (and hence can use) 10 MB ONLY. You do NOT want to run
KDE on that. (or any other wm for that matter...)
I think your problem is different from Irsan's, though.
Did you install Mandrake clean? Or did you upgrade from some other distro /
version? Linux kernel version?
