Yes, still waiting for my 9.0 Power Pack that I pre-ordered in Sept, my order is one of those that was "misplaced" or whatever, according to the email I got from Mandrake. > (Just in case you were wondering how you were going to examine and delete > these files when you cannot log into KDE.

I can get into kde once I do a warm boot with autologin, everything is ok, the only problem is when I log out and try to log-back in again. Reason I did this in the first place was that a web site I went to caused mozilla to close, after that, the scroll wheel on the mouse wouldn't scroll anymore, I've been able to fix that by just logging out and in again to kde. -- Regards Chris Registered Linux user #283774 @ http://counter.li.org 6:49pm up 44 min, 1 user, load average: 0.13, 0.10, 0.05
