Hi Dennis, I didn't have any trouble when I installed Mandrake on my machine at work. It too has 128MB RAM. I think though it's got something to do with the mobo that's being used. I guess some do and some don't. -- Mark

If you want to be able to use both on either PC there's a program called VNC that works great. There's a version for both Windows and Linux. The URL is: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ Give it a try. We use it quite heavily where I work. It helps us take care of a lot of user-troubles that

To start with, you didn't LOOSE XWindow from your system. It's got a bad config, but that's reparable...okay, take a deep breath, and... type this (no quotes) "Xconfigurator" Go thru the whole process of setting up the XWindow system again (mouse, keyboard, Xserver, and finally display).

that certainly is one way to do it, albeit a 10 mile hike when the distance to the goal is only a few hundred yards away. using the console utility "setuptool" will do a very nice job of getting X configured and running again. not to mention that it's much easier to use and there's less chance of
