The two of them do indeed run on the same browser engine, but they don't seem to want to play nice together. I've experienced this on both winders and Linux. Speakin of Winders...I blew up my XP installation last night. I prolly oughta git to work on it. I still have tax returns to prepare. GOD! I love Mandrake. takes a lickin and keeps on tickin!!
1) If you've not done something like irreparably destroying your partition table (and even that takes some doing) or reformatting your hard disk, a couple of hours messing around and asking questions on lists like this will get it back to normal.
2) If you can't do that, or can't be bothered to do it, assuming you've backed up /home (and who wouldn't), you can get everything back to normal within an hour with Mandrake's wonderful installation proggie. There have been a couple of occasions when I've done that out of sheer laziness - compared to reformatting my hard disk, installing Windows 98, installing drivers not included in Win98, installing MS Office etc, re-installing Mdk is about as stressful as sitting in a candle-lit jacuzzi.
BTW - isn't there any good Linux software for doing tax returns? If not, someone should write it - an easy-to-use tax return program could be that killer-app we've been waiting for!
Sir Robin
As far as I know there still arn't any real apps for doing tax returns on Linux. I, like SO many others are still waiting. For the life of me I can't understand why H&R Block hasn't ported their Tax Cut to Linux yet.
As a side note I remembered there was a cool thing included in XP that allows one to boot the system from the "last" successful time it booted. This I did and immediately performed a roll-back on the little bugger. Phew! Now I can do my taxes.
