This being the case, would it not be simply a matter of installing a different RPM to get rid of it all? I have no problem with the installer ads, i'll survive through those... and the bookmarks are pushing it... The website does say: "0) There won't be any ad in the screensavers in Mandrake 9.2 There will be one paid-ad in the installation procedure, and a few paid-links in bookmarks. " I think I can probably get past that Thanks, Kye Lewis [EMAIL PROTECTED]
