	I forgot the all important method of getting back after you hit
CTRL-ALT-F1.  Under RedHat, it's CTRL-ALT-F7.  :-) Try
CTRL-ALT-F<something> until it works under Mandrake.  This only works if
you didn't do 'init 3' to lower your runlevel to 3, and therefore kill
your X server.  :-)

Have fun (if at all possible),
