mandriva 2007

[digitizen]

hey everyone

i installed mandriva 2007 mini cd which i got from digit . now when ever i boot i dont get the option to select KDE or Gnome all i get is xorg which appears to have a blue background with a terminal and something called clock . how do i set my machine to boot into kde .

I doubt if mini cd has KDE or GNOME in it. It should be one of the windows manager that you are getting. Just right click on it and see if you can get some information on what you are running.
