Everytime I load up Mandrake its in a command line mode. How do I get it to go into graphical mode such as graphical login/desktop. (I want to do this without reinstalling.) Thanks.

as root try to edit #/etc/inittab

if you can see the entry below

#

id:5:initdefault:

 

# System initialization

 

id:5 refers to GUI

id:3 refers to console

so if yours is 3, you may change it to 5

 

edit: assuming you've installed X and kde or gnome

Its not working properly. X is giving back errors, even though I installed all the GUI packages. Auth also seems to be slightly broken by only allowing me to login at random times. I just assumed the installation went bad. I never had such a problem with Mandrake before so thats all I can assume. Ill restart from scratch.
