Question 1) Something weird happened to me today - I went in as root to do some updating of packages I downloaded in my normal account. While doing this, I decided to check out the updates from Mandrake. So I start Kppp, and it dials, I HEAR the two computers start to talk, and then it stops, saying 'No carrier'!! As far as I can tell, everything is set up right, and I can still dial out from my normal user account. Any ideas? Question 2) Is there any way to get kde to update it's menus automatically when you install or deinstall packages? Thanks everyone!! -- Ty Mixon e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 26147713
