One other thing, did you do a developer install? It sounds like you might
be missing the libraries to be able to compile a program that are included
when you state that you'll be using your system for development (as opposed
to workstation or server). I seem to remember it being said on the list
Sorry, that should read "can't help you". Sorry about that.

Ok, the rpm for XFree86-devel-4.0.1-28mdk.i586.rpm is at the following link.
I did a search for xfree86 on rpmfind.net and looked at the packages
labelled mandrake in the "distribution" column.

Ok, this might be too basic for you, but just in case, I thought I should
send you some links:
[myloginname@host ]$ This is the command line prompt. It is from here that
you run Linux commands (similar to, but MUCH more powerful than DOS).
However you probably want to run linux in graphical mod

Can you tell us newbies a little bit more about reiser, particularly, was it
difficult to configure/set up? Also, If I share a drive with win on another
partition, can I switch to reiser? I'm going to look it up now, but I was
interested in your subjected opinion of it.
