i need more detail here. which program said you didn't have a printer? can
you give me a screenshot? what's the contents of your /etc/printcap file?

right now there is no icon on the file dialog for the floppy disk. this is
a good thing to add. the easy way to use the floppy is to click on it in My
Linux System and use all operations through the gui. but yes, we should
find a way to add it to the file dialog menus also.

what command did you use to play the cd? it should start playing as soon as
you insert the cd. no mounting is necessary. if this is a kautorun issue,
it should be fixed in build 27.
thanks!
