Thanks Trigger-Happy,

I reinstalled Mandrake a couple more times and finally realised that it was not detecting the correct video card.

It is working now.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have just installed Mandrake 10.1 on a hard drive with Windows server 2003. After reboot, Mandrake begins but I am unable to do aynthing after logging on. (ie the operating system GUI does not load). I have tried &quot;startx&quot; but the message &quot;execve failed for /etc/xll/x (errno 2)&quot;<br />
Must Mandrake be reinstalled on a seperate hard disk or is it possible to get this working? I have no experience with Linux.

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
