Hi all: My thanks to John Skinner, Jyry Kuukkanen, and Hal Schlicht for your responses regarding KDE1.1.1. Finally got everything downloaded and installed. Everything seems to be working, at least what I've tried so far. Now I'm getting two error messages when KDE starts up. They both refer to the absence of mime types. could not find mime type application/x-rpm in opt/kde/share/applnk/System/kpackviewer.kdelnk could not find mime type application/x-debian-package in opt/kde/share/applnk/System/kpackviewer.kdelnk Shouldn't these have been installed when the kpackviewer.rpm package was installed? How do I install them now and where do I get them from?
