Actually, what isn't working is this: My system boots into TEXT (not
graphic) mode. So, I log in as "root" and type "startx" at the command
prompt to enter X. Then I just get a blue GUI screen, but no icons, no
taskbar, etc...

I just followed the steps at
http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/hardware/hremov3.html in the "CD-R(W)"
section... I'll test when I get home.

Thanks for your help so far. I hope it works!
