That was it! Thanks for the fix. since you are upgrading, try putting all the KDE rpms in a single folder, then go there from a commandline, su to root, and try urpmi ./* and let mandrake work it out for you. And thanks for that tip for next time. -- Lane Lane P. Lester / Madison County, Georgia Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

The only reason I can run Linux as my main OS is because I have VMware, which allows me to run Windows 2000 =inside= Linux. Unfortunately, VMware sells for #300, but fortunately I qualified for the educational price of $100. I'm also trying Win4Lin, but it currently runs only Win98, and I have not fully explored its capabilities. Lane Lane P.

Re[2]: [newbie] wireless router
Terry wrote: I am using a Linksys wireless router with my laptop, which has a Cisco Aironet 350 Series, and LM 9.0 beta 2. Things work beautifully with it. I didn't even have to download drivers for the Cisco card. It was truly plug and play. I plugged it in, and Mandrake automatically loaded the appropriate kernel module. I'll soon be getting DSL, and I've installed a D-Tech DSL wireless router for it. Thank you for reporting your good experience, because it encouraged me to try my SMC PCMCIA card. And it also installed very easily! In light of my previous struggles with anything associated with networking, this was a very pleasant surprise. Lane Lane P.

[newbie] PCMCIA Service Won't Autostart
In Mandrake 8.2, I can't get PCMCIA service to automatically start at boot. I clicked the At Boot box in Mandrake Control Center, but it doesn't do the job. Lane Lane P. Lester / Madison County, Georgia Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
