Hi, I am a REAL newbie (as you will see):

I have installed Mandrake 10 Community from 4 CDs I bought from a linux vendor in Sydney. Before that, I had resized the C:drive, which was the whole hard drive and has W2K, and added a FAT32 partition (for sharing files between W2K and linux) and an unallocated space for the Mandrake installation.

At the installation I went with the defaults and suggestions, including internet access configuration, etc.

Mandrake boots ok, but the internet configuration is flawed. I actually have a router (NetGear RP614) which is permanently connected via an ADSL connection and serves as the gateway for our four PCs and expected the connection to just work (as it did with Knoppix). Could somebody please point me to some documentation that I can use to sort that problem out ...

Alas, its not the only one: LILO list linux (2x), floppy, failsafe, and windows as boot option - but choosing windows, unfortunately, doesn't boot windows - in fact nothing happens. Again, I know there is a way to manually configure LILO, but how does one get into it at start-up?

Lastly - for now - when logging out and choosing 'reboot' the process stops at the line: "ohci_hcd 000:00:02:0: USB bus i deregistered" and nothing happens after that whatever key or combination of keys I press - all I know to do is turning the power off ....

Desperately yours, so to speak ...
