Just make sure you check though all the screens in the BIOS very carefully and make sure it's not there. If it really isn't there, don't worry about it. Just skip that step. There's nothing you can do about it if the option is not there. :D

First off, don't worry about loosing PCLos, it's probably still there. Don't worry about that right now. We'll fix that later.Now i have a few questions:1. So when you choose "linux" from your boot loader, it brings up a screen with only text?2. Did you create a user during the installation?

Ok. Try choosing "linux" from the boot loader and logging in as the user you created. Once you are logged in, type "startx" without the quotes. Hopefully that will bring up KDE for you. If not, it might be time to reinstall Mandrake again, and make sure you follow those directions exactly! :D

lol colin. good guess.make sure it's "startx" with no capital letters!(also if you have to reinstall, make sure you play extra attension to screen 15 in bruno's directions. :D

I think that's a good idea. Remember, pay close attension to screen 15 in bruno's tips and make sure everything is configured correctly.
