Hey all:
I'm back on Mandrake after a one year hiatus (had no computer at all for that
time). I feel like I'm back at square one and running into the same problems
I did several years ago and I don't remember exactly how to deal with them
all. At the top of the list right now are fonts and libraries.
I'll start with the library problems. I can't install any downloaded
packages because the computer can't seem to find any of my libraries. I get
the following error trying to install some new KDE packages:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] blackstripe]# rpm -ivh arts-1*
error: failed dependencies:

Now, of course all those files are on my computer. I haven't been out of the
game for that long! But why can't the computer find them? I installed
everything just to avoid hassles (including obscure outdated email clients
and every singlne language version of staroffice, which were later cleaned
out, but the point is that EVERYTHING is here). What can I do to fix this so
that I can get going on updates?
The second problem is with fonts, I know I used to have to tinker around a
bit to get the anti-aliasing running and to get support for the basic
internet fonts. Where do I go to find that stuff out again? Any help on
these two issues would be much appreciated, most all of the other basics are
taken care of. Thanks for your time.

PS: This should be sending in plaintext-- if it's not I'm embarassed/sorry, I
think I set it to plaintext earlier but now I can't find the option in KMail.
Yell at me if I messed up and I'll fix it straightaway. Thanks.
