welcome to the club!
First Question:
I recently tried to install Linux-Mandrake 6.5 or 6.2 (Whichever the
case
may be, the cover says both) I already have Win 98, Win 2K, and Win
NT on
this computer, so I bought another hard drive for Linux. I used
Partition
commander to create a Linux partition on the second hard drive (Both
a
regular linux partition, and a swap partition). I installed it
according to
the rules, but LILO won't install. I can boot it from the boot disk
that I
created, but I can't boot it otherwise. I tried to read up on it in
the
manual, but that's in a different language.
....are you sure lilo is installed on your MBR? this is probably on
your windows drive I know it's scary to overwrite it but anything
can be fixed
Second question:
I booted Linux with the boot disk, and the GUI takes up more than my
screen.
I can go to the right, left, up, or down with the mouse and it will
follow
it, but it really seems strange. Is this normal?
.......this is normal it's a type of virtual desktop, it's annoying
for most but some like the extra desktop space it gives them.
Unfortunately I can't remember what to do to get rid of it, I think
you have to edit your xf86config file.
have you considered upgrading to mandrake 7.1? It is amazingly
better
good luck!
