I'm using a burned copy of Mandrake 7.0. This is really the first time Mandrake has
caused me a problem like this and I go back to Mandrake 5.3. I've just ordered some
burned copies of 7.02 hoping this will correct the problem along with a game
"civilization call to power". I want to see how linux will do with the game.
I've signed on as both super user and as root. I can find the file but can't seem
to get to it. What I get is the message "The config file has no "type-..." line.
Now I'm not a computer programmer. In fact I'm probably in the low levels of an
intermediate user, so is this a case of a programmingly challenged operator or do I
have some kind of glitch.
