>From the notes at the Mandrake site, one needs to boot up from CD2. There is 
an oops with CD1. Having said that, I'm still having problems in that 
Mandrake Linux doesn't recognize my SIS video card--KNOPPIX does btw. Again 
how do I go from here as when I issue the startx command from Mandrake, an 
error message comes up with an error in the etc/XFree86 file.
Thanks all
