[newbie] Aurora setup question

[Alan Carpenter]

I am using mandrake 8 beta 3.  As root in gnome under "darkconf",
"boot", "boot config", I change to aurora, and then select "horizontal -
nice looking".  I click apply and ok and reboot.  It boots right back up
in text mode?  I go back into gnome and aurora is not selected?  BTW I
am using a boot disk, to get into my linux partiition.  Is there
anything I need to do with lilo to get aurora to work?  Thanks for all
your help.
