There are a few - documented - bugs in the PCQ redhat CD (such as DNS etc)
for which fixes are detailed at http://www.exocore.com/linux
(I have a sort of feeling Atul is going to join this thread with a polite
request for you to rtfm first, before criticizing the PCQ CD <g>)
Anyway - my 2 cents -

Chip Mag sent out a totally screwed up and broken version of Redhat 6 -
which in itself is a slightly buggy beast.

Sounds like one or two libraries are missing in your install. I don't
know - am using Gnome, which is working pretty OK. Maybe you did a custom
install of some sort?

In /etc/conf.modules - set "alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc" without the
quotes naturally <g> and restart lpd (using printtool say). Set the
filter to your printer (most are supported, for HP 700 series - Atul has a
driver somewhere).
If your printer just prints blank lines - in the filter, alias LF<->CR/LF
(by checking the "stairstepping text" option). If the printer does not
autoeject the page - set the checkbox to force page eject.
I'm using a Deskjet 670c which prints ASCII and PS files quite well.

Reinstall KDE (or at least the missing lib files) from the RedHat/RPMs
directory.

I am not having this problem - tar.gz shows up as a "packing crate" icon,
and if I click it, contents are displayed as a seperate folder (kinda like
Migenix's ZipMagic in WinDUH)

Tell you what - backup any programming or other stuff you have, nuke the
existing install and reinstall instead of upgrading. That will solve
most of your problems [1]
[1] (unless your CD has some minor faults / scratches, so that a few
modules are not installed properly - try a fresh CD in that case)
