Help with shuting down my Mandrake Comp
 

Hello, Im sure this question has a very simple answer but I can't figure it out. When im using my mandrake computer, and I want to turn it off, the only option I have is to "Logoff". Is there an easy way to turn off the computer? or did I set it up wrong. Also should I use the "shutdown" command, and if so how do you. Thanks ahead of time.

What version of mandrake? Try clicking logoff and see what happens. There might be the option afterwards to reboot or shutdown. If logoff only kills the x server and drops you down to console just log in as root using the 'su' command (this might not be necessary so try without at first) and then type

or if you wanted to reboot
