Hi: I have Mandrake Linux 9.1 and have successfully installed it on a different machine from this one and KDE seemed to work OK.
However, this machine doesn't seem to have everything working properly and KDE refuses to load. However, Gnome and ICE do work! If I select KDE as the desktop, I get a few bars of music and the beginning of the KDE task bar at the bottom of the screen and then the "Busy" mouse icon and the machine is locked up.
This computer is using a DSL connection, which works fine in Gnome. Konqueror does not. I am experienced in M$ products but am new to Linux. Any ideas what to do please?
(PS: I have thought of 9.2, but am still waiting for the free ISO's to try it).
