what does /usr/bin/menudrake (as root in a terminal windows) give you?
the menu manager came up - but still no way of adding the missing bits ( firefox is no longer in /usr/bin and i am guessing neither is the Open Office or Mandrake control utilities)
I tried to install firefox again by clicking on the .rpm and where it usually asks for a root password this time it just asked what i would like to open the file with.
