The only other icon is labeled "trans.tbl", and appears empty when clicked. Could you help me to install -step by step- this application, or maybe is it damaged? Anyway, could you recommend me a entry-level book about Linux? Thank yoy very much Chevi

I have just installed Linux Mandrake 6.1, and it won't accept my logon name or password. I have tried the root name and password, and the unprivileged username and password, but it won't accept either. So I reinstalled and chose different logon names and passwords. However, it still won't let me log-on. All I see is a text-based screen with a low-res picture of the Linux penguin, my hardware details and a prompt line which says "localhost logon:". Help!
