[newbie] Still need Xwindow help.
First. Thanks to all that responded. First I Maked a copy of the log file and cp to floppy. (thanks DFOX). Then I Ran XFdrake (Thanks Stephen Kuhn). Unfortunately this did not help. Below is my original post . The log file is quite long and I don't know if I should paste it and send it to the group or send it as an attachment. Which should I do. I go to regular command line after boot. After stopping X I tried to restart. I get an nVidia error message. I am A total Newbie and don't know were to get message to print let alone send a copy to list. :~(. My video card is an Elsa Gladiac MX nVidia GeForce 2 MX Rev A. I went to Elsa's Webpage and linux info is in GERMAN. Natually they have M$ info in english. Had Mandrake 7.2 Power pack running on the same machine fine until HD Meltdown. I need step by step help. At a total loss. Internet no help. Neither KDE or Gnome will come up at boot. Always command line. Where do I get a driver? How do I get it? Can I use my M$ machine to get it? How do I install it at command line? Totally fustrated. Please Help!! Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] Newbie needs install/checksum help
Where do I get checksum software and how do I use it on a windows machine? I have got both 8.2 and 9.1 ISO's disks1-3 burned onto cd's. I can't get either installed. On either of two machines where 7.2 were running before. I cheched the hardware list for both version and am in complience. with both. 9.1 installs and setsup KDE. Then when it goes to and initailization screen and hang there with my harddrives working indicator lights on. I've left it there once overnight and still it did not come up. With ver 8.2 I can't get past the first CD. I put the second one in and the CD light comes on but not harddrive activety afterwards. Some time I can move the mouse but most times it just freezes and won't even let me press enter to get it going. I have even written zeros to harddrive before try to install each version and always get same results on two different machines both Pll's w/ 128 RAM.
