I have installed and used Mandrake through several versions now, but I still find the *expert* install option quite cryptic. :-/ Just confirms my *newbie* status. I seem to be having a problem with kded sucking up a lot of cpu cycles...upwards of 75% or so. I have disabled kded, but I wonder if I need it for anything. It may be a bug perhaps, and I haven't done any updating yet. Anybody note any similar issues with kded?
