I wrote earlier that under Mandrake 9.0 I had a message "Kenel panic : No init found" at boot-up. Thanks to Stephen Kuhn, dfox and Leonardo Diciolla for your advice, but I lacked the confidence and knowledge to follow your suggestions.
I tried to upgrade to Mandrake 9.1. After a "successful installation" I got the message something like "KDE not installed" at boot-up. I thought I had selected KDE as the graphical interface. I upgraded again, but got the same message. I then did an install of Mandrake 9.1. Once again I had a "successful installation". However, on boot-up, all I got was a screen with the message :- Mandrake Linux release 9.1 for i586 Kenel 2.4.21-0.13mdk on an i686/tty1 Localhost login: I logged in as "John" - the user I had set up - and, as far as I can see (being a complete beginner), I seemed to be in a full-screen mode shell. However, I cannot see any way to minimize the shell and I can't see any evidence of KDE or any other graphical interface. To check that I hadn't overridden any crucial default in the installation, I re-installed but got the same result. I am now completely stuck for what to do. Any suggestions very gratefully received.
