<DIV>Hello everyone</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Just to say how much I enjoyed my first meeting with the group and a
big thank you to all of you who helped sort out my 'Partition Problems'
especially Gary, Mark and Julian. Felt a bit of prat bringing along such a
dull and time consuming problem but I can see now I would never have
managed it on my own. Great stuff and thanks again.<BR><BR> Am
still a bit stuck in getting the display right. The best I have managed
is to get a few scattered icons, some on top of each other, some that are
draggable leaving a trail of ghost images, others inactive, lots of grey
blue mish/mash which we saw last night but now with a readable message "KDE is
up and running"in amongst it - a small advance but LINUX is still not
usable from a graphic interface.<BR><BR> I think I need a path
from the grub prompt to the root command line and then a way to get into
changing the resolution and monitor settings in Drakx rather as Mark was doing
at the end of the evening. This would save having to re-install Mandrake
10.0 from scratch in order to get to the post install 'Configuration
Screen' where I have to date been trying to get the right settings. Would
I be right and does anyone have any ideas. In summary it looks as
though everything has installed OK but I can't get access to a usable interface
to change the display settings so that the whole becomes
viewable.<BR><BR> Anyway many thanks to all - a very
interesting and useful evening and I'm looking forward to helping the group in
any way I can once I get up and running and can take things in a bit
better.<BR><BR> All the best </DIV>
