Hello all.

Recently I have had to do a project on O/S's. Since I am the brightest computer student my report is big because I am sooo interested in it. I decided to do Linux since it was an O/S I had no experience with. Any very good rare or unknown info would be aprreciated.

Anyway;
Today I installed Mandrake Linux 8.0. Being an inquistive programmer I played with it for bit changing stuff. I restarted my computer after I got bored and wanted to change the KDE desktop back to GNOME. When it started it went through the GUI loading screen correcting one or two errors. It then goes back to the Command line user interface as usual but then stops and says "respawning X to many times: delayed for 5 minutes" after 5 minutes it prints the same message again. I spent an Hour waiting for something to happen but nothing did. It just continued re printing the message over and over after every 5 minute interval. Also things started dropping on the floor off my C drive. Data has been completely dissapearing.

Can somebody please help me.

Thankyou
