I loaded Mandrake 8.2 and was going through the networking setup after
loading the wireless RPM when the workstation started acting goofy. The
networking setup window did not close upon request and was still showing
an hour glass 90 minutes after selecting 'Close.' I finally killed the process.
My desktop icons also disappeared during this time and I could not log
out/shut down. I had to force a hard shut down. Linux wanted to check the
file system integrity upon boot-up. I thought it was a good idea, too.
However upon boot-up, I am able to log in at a command prompt, but no
further. The limit of my *nix command knowledge is 'ls -l' from 15 years
ago when I administered a Xenix system for my employer.
How do I load the graphical interface? Do I need to start over?
I shut down and restarted, to make sure I was accurately reporting the
eventsthen I remembered selecting 'interactive' when Linux was starting
up. I ignored that option and then asked for the file system integrity check.
I am back in the graphical environment.
Now I just need to get my PCMCIA wireless network card working and I am all
set.
Back to work...
