Hi Stephan,
You will need to go into /etc directory and using your favorite editor
open the file inittab. change the line in that file that reads
id:3:initdefault:
to read:
id:5:initdefault:
This will tell the system to start in runlevel 5
I would be interested to know the answer. I believe that you updated
LILO with the Mandrake Update utility like I did ? I did the same thing
to both my home and office PC. :-)

Can you get into X at all, like with startx? If that works, try
running
If i am not mistaken I believe you have to edit
your /etc/inittab file and put a 5 in place of the 3 in the runlevel
line.
