Question regarding install of KDE 3.0 on Mandrake 8.2 I followed your instructions of:
cd /home/"MyName"/kde3 urpmi.addmedia kde3 file:///home/"MyName"/kde3 And I logout and when I get to the login screen I only have 2 options in my Session Type drop down box. The first option is "default" and the second option is "failsafe". I should have Gnome in here as well as the other window makers since I have them installed. Another question while I'm at it. When I start up Mandrake 8.2 it never asks me what user I want to login and automatically logs me in. I would rather be prompted as to which user I want to login with. I used to know how to do this but I don't remember.

This is a 'known bug' and the fix is near the bottom of this excellent guide to KDE3 quirks: http://mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=2048 "Create or edit the file '~/.kde3/share/config/kpersonalizerrc'.
