 i asked this earlier, but i'm not sure i was clear. is there a way that i can
 make it so windows is the first item listed in GRUB and thus the default OS to
 load...i use windows more often and would like not to have to wait by my computer
 everytime to turn it on, so i can select 'windows' before it automatically loads
 mandrake. does anyone know if this is possible? thank you very much!

It's very simple!, go to drakconf the clic on tools for booting, then chose 
lilo or grub (grub in this case), chose dos or windows (i don't know which name
you called), then chose default, and thats it.
Ok reboot!

 Hello,
 
 In short, how do I get KDE or GNOME to run. All I can get is twm.
 
 In long:
 
 I've just installed Mandrake7.2 on two boxes. (My first ever attempt at
 linux installation, so I'm feeling pretty good at this point.)
 
 The first installation on a Dell Inspiron 7500 went swimmingly. Everything
 worked automatically like it was supposed to, and I rewarded myself with a
 game of TuxRacer.
 
 Then, I wanted to also install on a Sony VAIO PCGSR-17K. Unfortunately, it
 being a teeny-tiny laptop, it has no floppy or cd-rom drive. So, I
 performed a bit of brain surgery, put the VAIO hd (IBM) into the Dell, and
 installed there. Install went great.
 
 Returned the VAIO hd to the VAIO box, and booted up into linux.
 
 No X. *sigh*
 
 Today, after a bit of struggling, and walking up to strangers on the street
 asking if they know X (well, not quite, just people at work, but I did ask
 everyone...), I got the 4.0.2 drivers down from XFree86.org, convinced the
 config files that they wanted to use the savage driver, and startx now
 produces X. But, I've only got twm, and I can't get either KDE or GNOME out
 of the bugger. (I'd really like AfterStep Enlightenment, but that's for
 later.)
 
 I'm sure I've somehow confused things from the Mandrake standard by doing
 the 4.0.2 XFree86 install. Can someone help me get back on track?
 
 Sarah

If you have the rpm's for KDE and Gnome installed, than what you have to do is
go to the graphics configuration on the Drak conf and anwser yes to the X
question!
Bye
