Re: [newbie] Bookmarks in Galeon
Bookmark _saving_ is one area where, i hate to say it, none of the browsers i have tried in linux works as well as internet explorer. Editing, that's a diff story, but the bookmark filing in IE is pretty good. I agree. At least Konqueror arranges them in alphabetical oder in the drop down menu. I think it's crazy that Mozilla doesn't,or maybe it does and I just don't know how to do it yet. :-) I tried everything i could think of to get it to alpabetize, but couldn't. Plus, the mozzilla that came with 9.1 is so borked, it eventually stopped working all together for me. Even after deleting the mozilla dir. I was about to try a complete uninstal, but managed to screw up my /boot during ntfs shrinking. Anyway, now that i know a good galeon bookmark method, i'll probably stick to it til i stumble on a better one. Anyone know how to get rid of an extra toolbars in galeon?

[newbie] missing libraries, awkward fonts
Hey all: I'm back on Mandrake after a one year hiatus (had no computer at all for that time). I feel like I'm back at square one and running into the same problems I did several years ago and I don't remember exactly how to deal with them all. At the top of the list right now are fonts and libraries. I'll start with the library problems. I can't install any downloaded packages because the computer can't seem to find any of my libraries. I get the following error trying to install some new KDE packages: [EMAIL PROTECTED] blackstripe]# rpm -ivh arts-1* error: failed dependencies: audiofile is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libgcc_s.so.1 is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libglib-2.0.so.0 is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libgmodule-2.0.so.0 is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libgobject-2.0.so.0 is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libgthread-2.0.so.0 is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libpng12.so.0 is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.3.2) is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libqt-mt.so.3 is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libstdc++.so.5 is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2) is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2) is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2.2) is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libvorbisenc.so.2 is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libvorbisfile.so.3 is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 Now, of course all those files are on my computer. I haven't been out of the game for that long! But why can't the computer find them? I installed everything just to avoid hassles (including obscure outdated email clients and every singlne language version of staroffice, which were later cleaned out, but the point is that EVERYTHING is here). What can I do to fix this so that I can get going on updates? The second problem is with fonts, I know I used to have to tinker around a bit to get the anti-aliasing running and to get support for the basic internet fonts. Where do I go to find that stuff out again? Any help on these two issues would be much appreciated, most all of the other basics are taken care of. Thanks for your time.

[newbie] SCSI Em- Again
Thanks to a great deal of help from people here, primarily the two
Johns, Yesterday I actually managed to burn two CDs using Xxcdroast.
Today when I logged on I got two failure lines in my mandrake boot info.
They were both for scd1. They both said FAILED scd1 does not exist.
I checked in MCC to see if the CDRW drive is still listed and it is not.
When I logged off yesterday it was there twice, once as hdb and once as
scd1.
At this point I'm unable to access the drive at all. So I've actually
taken a step backward. When I started the device at least appeared in
the hardware list as a CD ROM and I could use it as a reader.

[newbie] Lost toolbar quicklaunch buttons - 9.1
Hi All Having fun setting up 9.1 on my system, main idea is to replace my Win2K system eventually. Todays problem -- I had the standard toolbar which had the various quick launch buttons for Control Centre, help files, Konqueror, Kwrite etc and then tried to install some scanner stuff using Control Centre. After this all of my kmenu applications AND the quick launch buttons disapeared. I managed to get the kmenu applications back (eventually) after I found the command update-menus, but cannot see how to get the quick launch buttons back. Any help would be much appreciated.
