Resetting Linux to zero?
What do you mean by that?

Hi,

Is there no option at the PC boot (ESC key or others) that gives you access to a reset menu?

Nothing in the documentation about this?

Well, it's not really possible, like on Windows.
I mean, it's possible but it's quite complicated, so the best thing is to reformat:
since you don't have a CD drive, you'll need to use a USB stick:
For that, you can use Unetbootin, and choose your distribution.
I don't know Mandriva, so I can't help you more than that, but I'm sure if you search a bit you'll find it.
However, to get a Mandriva like the one you have (modified by Hercule), you'll probably need to go to Hercule's site.
There's a good chance they'll tell you how to do it (maybe in English)

I know it's possible because there are commands to type as soon as you turn on the computer, but I don't remember which ones.

but I thank you anyway for your responses and I will continue to search.

I will try escape.

La G has the choice between starting up and restoring factory settings
What should I choose?

Try "Getting Started" first, you'll see what it does (maybe just a system configuration).

Otherwise, choose the other one to get what you wanted in the first place: I would like to know how to reset Linux as if I just bought it

I just have to be patient; I'll let you know if it worked.

C'est génial, c'est bon, tout est à neuf, merci à tous pour votre aide et surtout à Jipicy.
