not sure what you're original problem was dave, but what you descibe, the : [condyk@localhost condyk]$ is a command prompt, you type commands here, the first condyk indicates that the user 'condyk' is logged on and the localhost is the name of the machine that condyk is logged onto, the second 'condyk' indicates the current directory that you are in, it is only listing the directory name not the full path but it almost certainly refers to /home/condyk since it is standard fro a user to logon and be put into their home directory, if your machine is configured properly for X then you could try typing startx at the prompt and pressing enter, linux doesn't have to boot into a gui, you can configure mandrake either way
