Hello.    
   4 years ago I learned to use Mandriva 2010, and I used to use it for backing   
   up system partitions and similar things. I installed KDE and did some settings   
   on my account to have good looking environment. Today I had to reinstalled it   
   because it crashed.    
   I did not formated the Home partition, but connected to the old settings. My   
   first real problem in KDE when the system finished instalation was that the   
   fonts of aplications were theribly big. For instance in mc I have seen only   
   three files per screen    
   when I was listing /etc ... So my first question is how to correct this. I   
   went to settings of graphic server and set reesolution to maximum (1600x1200 I   
   thing) and the display as well. This did not help.   
      
   Then when I have rebooted. I have new problem. The KDE did not start, but I   
   had to log in manualy as root¨and then I have just shell. How to fix it to log   
   in as root or another user automatically?   
      
   Next problem is that I have set non-english language and I cannot switch it to   
   english to type pipeline | . Any idea how to do it in Mandriva 2010?   
      
   When I tried to startx I got message something like there is not screen or   
   something similar. Something's wrong with the configuration.   
      
   Can you help to fix these problems?
