Well, the "kde" didn't work for me as I had it set up, so I did the "Windows weenie" thing, and re-installed Mandrake from the beginning! :-) This time around, I was careful to be sure that X server would start the KDE GUI right away...and it's working! :-) But then... Even though the installation routine seemed to have no trouble with the "automatic" configuration of my Internet connections, I can't seem to connect to the Internet (Konqeror gives me a "host not found" error if I try to go to a web site). Also, though I'm usually very good with setting up email accounts, the particular nomenclature used by Kmail has me a little confused when it came to the SMTP setup. Here are the bits I'm confused about (though, my problem may just have been my Internet connection setup in general, having nothing to do with my SMTP setup in Kmail). Anyway, here are the bits I'd like to be clear on: Transport SMTP: Name: Host: Port: 25 (I know this one :-)) Precommand: Send custom hostname to server It seems that if I can get my Internet connection and Email set up properly, I'm on my way! Thanks to everyone here for all your help and encouragement! :-) - -- Melissa PGP public keys: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]&Body=Please%20send%20keys -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQE/usOWjVbXUvsE8ukRAlMjAKCeGJ9VEU+21Zg8Uf+iPTUrhfEH0gCfbf9u /EMyOdmDvPeLIqoGAu4kqTg= =GeXJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
