Well after trying to access my dos partitions via "su" within kde, my desktop has permanently crashed. Everytime i start up kde and login as that user, the desktop icons no longer show and nothing has the ability execute, tho' the taskbars do show. Then, when trying to log-out, the system freezes, permanently! all files (desktop stuff) does still appear within teh /home/user/Desktop dir when woring in text mode and not xserver. -- ------------ Sent from: Lattitude (deg): 32.7130 Longitude (deg): -117.1530 Altitude (ft): 410.0 GMT to Local (hrs): -8.0 (daylight savings enabled) ------------ Created with Linux-Mandrake 7.0! http://www.linux-mandrake.com/ Currently Beta Testing Mandrake Ver >7.0
