I recently downloaded and installed Mandrake 9.1. Akin to Mandrake 9.0 I have had similar installation problems. I chose to install KDE and not install GNOME in both instances. I chose on several occasions Xfree4.3 and 3.3.6. Installation goes without a hitch however when Mandrake loads it fails to load KDE. I switched between installting KDE with XFree 4.3 and 3.3.6 and it fails to load KDE in both cases. Mandrake 8.0 worked great with Xfree 3.3.6 however mucks up with 4.3 by distorting the display of icons,etc. Why is this? The same occurs when I install GNOME with version 9.0 and 9.1.
My hardware is:
Compaq Presario
Trident CyberBlade Video Adapter
192MB Ram
4 GB Harddrive.
Thanks!
