So, last night, after putting in my new memory (thanks all, for the responses. Alleviated my worries about swap space size), I reboot my machine.
Front screen and CMOS report ~768M of memory. LILO starts up, I choose Linux, everything looks great. I press ESC to see the verbose startup report (Mandrake 10.0), and everything still looks great... Until X starts. The background comes up all crosschecked, then it gets colored blue. Then the icon changes from an X to an arrow pointer. All like normal so far. Then there she sits. I ran out of time to try setting mandrake to boot to a shell, rather than KDE automatically . I'll try that tonight. But does anyone know, do any X or KDE window manager settings need to be changed because I increased the memory in my system? Sounds kind of strange, but I was very surprised. Thanks for any ideas... Dave in Largo, FL
