You can search through the rpms folder of your install cd for it. I think it
will be named something like XFree86-XF86Setup.i586.rpm. Install it from
there. If you don't have X working at all, you'll probably have to mount the
cdrom first with a
mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom.
Then
Thanks John, I'll try that.

The other configurator (if you chose to install it in the X section of
install) is XF86Setup.

If you don't want to fix the font server you can edit /etc/X11/XF86Config
and change the FontPath to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc

Yup, that happened to me before too. My recomendation is:
delete your old kdebase (rpm -e kdebase)
reinstall kdebase from the RPMs in the Mandrake distribution
The only problem is that after you run KDE again, you might have to reconfigure
some minor details (I had to reinstall my theme. YMMV.)
Hi,
I think the config file is /usr/share/config/kdmrc. You might edit by hand
the appropriate fields and spare yourself a full package reinstall.
If you get it going, make an oddly named (so it doesn't get easily
overwritten) backup copy for future cases. Don't use kdmrc.bak or kdmrc~,

You must not have installed the Mandrake switcher utility
mandrake and probably redhat distributions have a neat little app called
swithdesk. It will allow you to change environments from whatever environment
