Thanks to everyone who helped with my problems. The new netscape *was* on the mirrors. The trick was to look in /pub/updates/Mandrake and NOT /pub/Linux/Mandrake/updates. Also, I finally got it installed, using --nodeps and --force. Neither the Mandrake rpm program nor the KDE rpm program could install this rpm. Had to do it by hand. Unfortunately, the new netscape is much like the old. As a guy two cubicles down said, "It may not have many features, but at least it's slow." (While I'm on the subject of not working, just tried to add a program to my KDE menu and clicked on the Panel/Edit Menus option. Nothing happens.) My new kernel is now recognized. All I had to do was rerun LILO, although I still don't understand why. Apparently LILO doesn't run at the time of bootup, because executing vmlinuz would definitely load the new kernel. Welcome to UNIX. :-) I'm definitely learning. CindyB
