I just reinstalled linux-mandrake 6.0.  I never got it working the
first time.  I got it installed on a 1 giga hard drive that was
completely clean when I started the installation process.  

I got the installation cd from a magazine called Maximum Linux.  It
was the premiere issue that I purchased yesterday (Saturday 9/11/99).
Is it possibly a bugged version?

According to the magazines' instructions, all I had to do after the
"successful installation" and reboot was type linux at the $prompt .
I tried typing linux at the $prompt and at the # prompt in several
different directories.  I always get a bad command message.

I don't think that I had a successful installation of the software.  I
think there may have been video card and monitor config problems.  I
never saw the xconfigurator message.  My monitor was unlisted and my
video card is on board the mother board.  I don't know the name of my
video card.

Thanks for any advice.       Richard
