1st try: Upgrade (from 9.0) install seemed to work ok, but after rebooting, couldn't start graphical desktop and reverted to command line.
2nd try: Guessed there was a problem with my video driver. Reran same upgradel, but tried to fiddle with display settings in final config screen. Whatever I tried (several re-upgrades since my keyboard did not respond after the error), got "An error occurred: could not open font 'fixed' Try to change some parameters.
After extensive searching on Web, tried commenting (the only) fontpath line (had "unix:1" in it in the XF86Config file.
3rd try: upgrade ran OK, but when I logged in as (non-root) user, got an error re. not enough room in /tmp/ and KDE couldn't start.
Logged in as root, KDE started. So tried to remove some packages to free up some space for /tmp/
Big mistake: marked other desktops (not KDE/Gnome) for deletion, after I hit OK, noticed KDE and Gnome had checkmarks next to them (set by Mandrake?). Tried to cancel...
4th try: re-upgrade, only get command line logon.
5th try: Full (not upgrade) install, still only get command line logon.
6th try: Rescue, rebuild Linux boot, get error: "fatal open /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.3-20mdk No such file or directory"
So now, whatever I choose from the boot menu (BTW, I'm dual-booting with Win2k), I get command line only with (I believe) a ...-19mdk kernel.
Sorry if this post is too long, but I thought it would help to be as specific as I could be.
Can anybody help?!
