Hi, OK lets usume you use mandrake 9.1 (older versions differ in some respects) When booting it goes to the user selected on install. On KDE. Right click on mouse - select logout. On GNOME select start > logout. Now it goes to where different user may logon This if you installed more than one user otherwise you will be there only. Now here is 3 options 1..select other user (NO option for ROOT) 2.. REBOOT - if selected it "MAY" have a dropdown list to select way of rebooting. Why I say may - sometimes the dropdown list is empty - if empty then select HALT. 3 .HALT
If above is all hash - then use* alt - cntrl -del * this will - if it works reboot. OR Open console - su - password - shutdown -r (or -h) now. If nothing of the above works - sorry beyond my scope Now this not recommended - switch off.
