Install was flawless, except I couldn't get kmail to work (might have been firewall problem if I could find the firewall) sound card is recognized but can't find the volume control, it is very sparse for apps with only one cd. Oh yeah, I forgot that I had hdc mounted on my main hda and so when it changed the partitions with the OS install on hdc my hda boot up install failed on errors on /dev/hdc1, couldn't get a recovery so had to reinstall and wipe /usr and the /hdc1 and /hdc6 partitions to get hda back. Dumb mistake. Any hoo, I am not thrilled with the default KDE icons colors etc and wish I knew why kmail can recieve but not send. Said that senders address was missing a ? can't remember. Will try again on beta 2. Charge on, -- Dennis M. linux user # 180842
