Hello all For those of you who helped me with my memory stick problem, I think it's a non-issue for now. I think my usb ports are dead. Which is not a bad thing since I can justify buying a new pc now to my wife. :) This one is fairly old. But thanks for your help, anyway. My new task

Ok, I've finally got it up and running. I needed to reboot the computer for KDM to show XFce4. (Was that in your directions? I apologize, if it was, since that means I wasted your time.) But, I wanted to say thanks a lot for helping me out and creating the rpms for XFce4. Jack

Ok, Joe, if you're still up, I need your help. I downloaded the rpm packages for xfce4-rc2 that Todd was kind enough to create and I have them all in a file called xfce4-rc2 as per Todd's directions. The question is: what do I do now? Is there a way to install all of the packages with one
