I tried submitting this thru Mandrake's bugzilla. I am (probably) still having some issues there, and therefore this may be the best place to submit it (for me).
Anyways, there is no konsole in the latest kdebase (3.1.3-13mdk). The applnk et. al. also *appear* to be missing. This is not a kde issue in that I run kdebase 3.1.3 on another distro and have the *lnk(s) and the binary extent and in the right places. Best regards; Bob Finch
