[ILUG] Mandrake 6.1 ( Helios ) login.

[Paul Walsh]

Nope. 

	Just plain linux login no Windowmanagers.
	I have also tried the Workstation setup and Server setup
	and they dont work either.

	For the Workstation and server setup when i Boot the machine
	i get the following error.

	Checking root File system    
	/etc/rc.d/sysinit: fsck: command not found [FAILED]

	I can then log in as root for maintenance.

	I think its back to 5.1 again ;)

Paul.

Are you trying a Graphical login. If so it could be a problem with your
session. One of your WindowManagers probably has the problem. Check in
the .xsession-errors file in the user's directory..
