Well, I'm back with more questions. This time I'm trying to install a couple packages off the CD (namely Samba and Tuxracer). The program appears to run properly, and the KDE menu is updated with links to the programs. The programs themselves, however, never seem to really get installed. I checked the /usr/local folder (please excuse my win9x terminology), and there was no samba folder. Also, I can't get into SWAT at http://localhost:901 -- it tries to send a request to my proxy server instead (I have a proxy on another computer for internet sharing). Tuxracer wouldn't do anything when I tried to run it, either. The Software Manager shows that the programs have been installed properly -- they get moved to the "Installed" tree listing. Removing them seems normal too. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? On a similar note, I tried installing the RPM for Imici Messenger, but it wouldn't let me. Clicking on the RPM file (imici-0.9.4-1.i386.rpm) gave me the installer program, but clicking "Next" brought up an error saying that the package had already been installed. 'Don't know if there's a connection here or not -- if not, I have two problems I guess. I'd appreciate, as always, any thoughts and ideas anybody might have. Thanks for the support so far! Jeremy P.S. While I'm here, could somebody tell me how to check how much drive space is still free on my hard drive? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
