The default runlevel is 3. :) Well, I don't know about problems with
using kdm. I only tried it once and then decided not to use it simply
because it was too slow on my system (486DX2-66 w/32 meg of ram). I
kinda like the logon screen anyway! :)
I have to say though, being a now converted user of Caldera OpenLinux,
that Mandrake as it is, is one of the better distributions of Linux.
I'm sure that it'll only improve from here.
Arnold :)
P.S
Does anyone know of another version of Linux that has a downloadeable
ISO image? This was one of the deciding factors in me trying out
Mandrake. I've got cable modem access at work, so it was easy for me to
download the file and then burn it to a cd. :)
