I'm not familiar with linx4win but what happens if you just log in at the login prompt (Localhost Login?

[johnhammond]

it says
Last login: Mon Oct 22 21:09:06 on vc/1
[adrian@localhost adrian]$


*adrian is my user name

[angel]

and if you type 'startx' what happens?

[johnhammond]

IT WORKED!!! but it doesnt read the cd rom or the burner although it never did so can u fix this for me?

[angel]

I'll need to jump on Mandrake here at home to check but I imagine you'll need to mount them first.

Hopefully, I'll be back soon if someone else doesn't come along first.

Mount them first?
