Re: [newbie] RPM's without docs?

I think this might be a bug with kpackage, as I have had it happen to me also. It seems that any documentation just is not installed when using kpackage. I ended up reinstalling a bunch of packages from the command line, and everything worked ok then. Now I usually use kpackage to view the package contents and install from a commandline.
Re: [newbie] Mandrake6.1, Python1.52 and Zope2

I want to install Zope2 , but it requires Python 1.52 and the current Cassini file list doesn't seem to include python1.52. Can I just take the rpms from cooker and install them with the --force directive and expect things to be OK? I'm running 6.0, and took the following RPMs http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM/mandrake/cooker/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS/python-1. 5.2-1mdk.i586.html sop that a few pythjon scripts could bi in synch with what was on my windows machine If you are using any of the scripts included with mandrake that were written in python, you will want to get http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM/mandrake/cooker/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS/pythonlib -1.22-6mdk.noarch.html also as several pymodules have stuff like def foo(x=spam, y, z=deadparrot) which need to be changed to def foo(x=spam, y=None, z=deadparrot)
Re: [[newbie] Star Office]
Yes there is a linux version of StarOffice. Like most software it has its supporters and detractors. I use it (in both windows and linux) and it works great for me. I handles M$ Office files quite well. It is very large (detractors would say "bloatware") and takes a while to launch, but it suits my needs just fine. For a free Office Suite, I think it's very well done. I am using StarOffice in both Windows and Linux also, As for the "bloatware", it actually takes up less space than a full install of MS Office. The main difference is that all components load at once in StarOffice, rather than having each one seperate.
Re: [newbie] KDE graphical login

I'm at home, not work, so I can't check Lilo, which I presume is where it starts ? Maybe the rc.local ? Runlevel 5 = graphical boot Runlevel 3 = console check /etc/inittab for info
