I haven't seen the archives for months - I never see any link to them and can't remember the url Anne If you use Mozilla or Phoenix (don't know about NS7) and haven't been using custom keyword searching, now's the time to learn. Just go to any site that has a search (like the newbie archives at http://www.mail-archive.com/newbie@linux-mandrake.com/), enter a dummy search phrase like coffee (no quotes) and bookmark the results page. Next, go to Bookmarks Mangage bookmarks, and look at the properties of the bookmark you just made. Locate the word coffee in the URL and replace it with %s (no quotes). In the keyword field, enter a short phrase you'll remember; I use newb. Now when I enter newb boot hang cups in the address bar I go directly to the results page of a Mandrake newbie search on boot hang cups. Pretty cool! I also have custom searches for Freshmeat.net, rpmfind.net, m-w.com, sourceforge, amazon.com, LDP, google (web, groups, images, and news) and a few others. Very handy for URL's I'm always forgetting/misplacing. Todd Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
