 Thanks so much,

Alanthe package is Aurora-7.2-17mdk.i586.rpm on your
installation CD.  After installing it to get it to run all
that is needed is a statement in either lilo or grub setting
the frameuffer to a value suitable for your video (a good
guess would be 785 or 788):

vga=xxx

Colors  (depth) 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 1600x1200
---+---+---++-+-
   256 ( 8 bit)|  769 771  773  775   796
32,768 (15 bit)|  784 787  790  793   797
65,536 (16 bit)|  785 788  791  794   798

  My mouse is inactive in aurora.  Is this an issue pertaining to when I have
  it start up in the sequence of things?
 
  The keyboard works to go to different menu's while aurora is running but not
  the mouse.
 
  It's a  USB MS Intellimouse with IntelliEye or whatever.  (The optical
  version of a plain old intellimouse 2 but. 1 wheel/but.)

   for those who haven't noticed, when aurora is booting or shutting down,
   left click on the penguin and an image will appear at the bottom of the
   screen.

 This article solved my inablility to get Aurora running:
 http://www.mandrakeforum.com/article.php3?sid=20001108042008

Make sure you are logged in as "root".

Ensure that you have the following files installed first:

initscripts-5.27-37mdk.i586
open-1.4-12mdk.i586
glibc-2.1.3-16mdk.i586
then
aurora

If you are using Grub, open the Grub folder and edit the Menu.1st file.
Add the line vga=788 to the end of kernel line. Resave the file and
reboot your computer.

The next time your computer boots up you will see Aurora. That's it.
