If Im doing something wrong, please tell me-- It looks like it downloads them to ~/.kde/share/apps/kfm/tmp. It doesn't look like those files stick around after you close kfm. At least I don't THINK so. Check in that directory to see if your download is still there. Might have been a wasted download, I guess. I didn't see anything in the preferences settings of KFM to set where it downloads to. It seems to be hardcoded into the app. The way I normally us it: Just 'drag 'n drop' the file you wat to fetch somewere... i normally use the desktop...

[newbie] breaking my head ..
Hi, A question, not totally related to Mandrake, but worth a try ;-) I'd like to run a firewall script on my Pc. I have found the isinglass script on freshmeat and looks fine for my needs. BUT... if i insert the script or (program as you wish) in the ifup script it is started before pppd is ready, causing everything to be blocked. I'd like to start it automatically, because root permissions are required.. How do i start this *After* pppd gets an ip nr: but from the ifup script ? Any ideas welcome!

Re: [newbie] 2.2 kernel upgrade?

From the mandrake site, it sounds like the 2.2 source should be in the install, or at least on the CD (I burned an image myself), but I can't seem to find it. Where is the source hiding in the default install, so I can recompile and get this guy on the network?
