Hi All,
I'm running Mandrake Linux 7.2 and I just can't seem to figure out how
to switch desktops. I don't want to use a graphical logon and everytime
I use DrakConf it switches X back to 3.3.6... Is there a special command
that I can issue from a prompt? Thanks all!
Hi,
I have Mandrake 7.2 installed and I selected Xfree86 4.01 to use
during installation. I recently changed my resolution and it changed the
X Server back to 3.3. Now how do I get back to X 4.01? Any/all help is
greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Yeah, I was just using that for an example.

HAve installed 7.1 on a fresh athlon 650 asus k7v
Once you burn it its just automatically bootable. I think.
How to burn one? I think Mandrake said Easy-cd creator would
