[newbie] Shortcuts

I wrote earlier that under Mandrake 9.0 I had a message Kenel panic : No init found at boot-up. Thanks to Stephen Kuhn, dfox and Leonardo Diciolla for your advice, but I lacked the confidence and knowledge to follow your suggestions. I tried to upgrade to Mandrake 9.1. After a successful

RE: [newbie] Mandrake 9.1 Installation Problem

Thanks for your reply. I thought that the installer had recognized the graphics card, and just accepted what I thought was the detected card - which happened to be the 3D version. I will need to check on the card details and perhaps change the details on a further install. Regards John

[newbie] kpackage

Hi Mandrake 9.0 As a user, I appear to have access to kpackage only in a limited way i.e. I can open an rpm with it. As root, however, I have complete access to kpackage i.e. I can open kpackage and see a list of all rpm's installed, by using a menu arrow in the toolbar at the foot of the
