[newbie] Configuring M-L after installing...
Hi guys, How do I configure the basics like video, sound, USB, etc... in Mandrake-Linux 8.0 without having to reinstall? I know it seems like a dumb question, but the first time I installed last night I had some problems getting the video working (Toshiba 1710CDT laptop) and ended up doing a reinstall :) Is there some sort of GUI for this dumbo Windoze user to play with? Is there some sort of FAQ or HowTo available on the 'net? Tks, DaveA. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

To configure the KDE desktop there is KDE Control Centre which is the 4th icon from the left in the bottom corner of your screen. Amazingly enough all this is described in the manual. http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/fdoc.php3 derek Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Whoops! Yep... just found the manual, but I was having a bit of trouble navigating around the GUI until I got the mouse working! Thanks very much for that incredibly useful post! Now I can REALLY start to confuse myself :) Can't wait to finish this stupid Windoze 2000 MCSE (need it for work) and get my teeth into this beautiful OS called Linux!
