I can not logon to mandrake. It stops at welcome screen. Is there anything equal to the control alt delete to show root or a user account? I am a noob so please advise.

Thats odd.. did you create a user account/password during the install? If you need to log in to make one press ctrl+alt+F1 log in as root, enter a password then create a user and password.
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
