Well first do not log in as root. That message that pops up telling you not to is there for a reason. The world will not end if you log in as root, but it is a good habit to anytime you need to do anything as root to open a user terminal and issue the command su You will then be root user. Second. I assume you have a CD in the drive when you try to browse to it? Note you will not be able to browse to an audio CD. > > and er. my sound card.. i have a Creative Vibra 128 sound card.. i think LM > successfully installed it.. but it sounds so slow.. er.. imean soft.. can't > seem to hear it.. :( Check your mixer settings KMenu>Multimedia>Sound>kmix you can save the settings once you have adjusted them. > and when i try to play mp3 files with XMMS.. the song played is like.. er.. > jagged.. er.. noisy and broken.. :( > wat happen? does anyone have any idea?? Seems like your computer cannot cope with MP3s while running KDE, you do not say how much memory you have, but whatever it is it is not enough. The best thing you can do is switch to a lighterweight window manager. Your computer was designed for Win98, yet KDE is comparable to Windows XP in terms of its system requirements. Examples of alternative window managers are :- iceWM is very Win95 like and will be easy for a newbie to use, XFce is very fast, but requires manual set up. Blackbox or Fluxbox are both *very* fast, but you will have to get used to having no desktop icons. You will also find some applications are much faster than others. Most KDE apps will be slow on your computer. Example of fast applications are, Galeon or Opera browsers, Abiword word processor, Gnumeric spreadsheet, gtcd CD player, xmms multimedia player xwc file manager. All these things are on your CD's. You can have fun trying them all out (except Abiword which is available by download) > > also.. is it me ... or.. > i feel that with LM8.2 in my Pentium 233MMX, i really feel..

Under KDE it is just 'OK' HTH derek > > k.. that's the update from me.. :) :D > > Lots of hugs and kisses, > kahwoon... :)
