I just installed Mandriva 2007. I login in with name and password and then it ask: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "1$ (what is the command it's asking for)? ----cjs reply---- bob, its not really looking for any one specific command, its just not programed to start the GUI automatically (that was an issue caused from the installer..im sorry i dont know how to fix that). What you are showing here is a "Command prompt" kind of like dos, except it doesnt display "C:\>" if you want to start the GUI, type "startx" and press enter. Doing this begins the GUI. if this is your first time running the gui, it may ask you what type of video card you are using (the most common, most supported one is VISA, so if you are unsure of what type of video card you have installed, choose VISA) and what screen resolutions it supports. after that, you should be brought to the gui For a list of supported commands that linux uses, visit: www.oreillynet.com/linux/cmd/ This site will give you all the supported commands, how to use them, and what they do. a really handy site ----end of reply---- _________________________________________________________________ FREE online classifieds from Windows Live Expo buy and sell with people you know http://clk.atdmt.com/MSN/go/msnnkwex0010000001msn/direct/01/?href=http://expo.live.com?s_cid=Hotmail_tagline_12/06 ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
