Re: [newbie] bookmarks file from netscape to konqueror
The solution is quite simple really In home directory select View and tick `show hidden files'. Then create a fake directory called .netscape(don't forget the dot) This is necessary because LM8.2 is not shipped with any netscape browser and therefore the install programme will not have created one. Then transfer your usual netscape bookmark file over to this directory but edit the file ending to something like bookmarks.html. Alternatively go to konqueror - bookmarks - edit bookmarks, and you will find that because you have created a fake .netscape directory in the right place the `import Netscape Bookmarks' is no longer grayed over.Procede as normal.

Re: [newbie] bookmarks file from netscape to konqueror
I don't know much (if anything) about KDE, or for that matter Konqueror, but afaik the bookmarks are pretty much the same in both Mozilla and Netscape. Just try using the Import Mozilla Bookmarks, and if that does not wotk, give a yell ;-) Greetings Ralph On Mon, 29 Apr 2002, Schwenk, Jeanie wrote: I am using Mandrake 8.2's Konqueror and want to port my bookmarks from Netscape.

It worked! Thank goodness. I am trying to get the same exact functionality on my linux box as I have on my windows box. Thanks.

Jeanie Jeanie: While it's not possible to completely duplicate Windows' behavior in Linux, there are some work-arounds. For example, you can simulate BSOD's by either hitting the reset button every 150 minutes, or pulling the plug from the wall at the same time interval. Once you become competent in Linux, of course, you can probably write a cron job to do this automatically. Until then, a simple solution is to use a common kitchen timer (Radio Shack is a good source). As for viruses and worms, you'll have to create those on your own, because the standard tools used by script kiddies are very much Windows-specific. And, even when you are successful, they will only run on your PC. Sort of takes all of the fun out of it, doesn't it? As for cost, the _best_ solution that I can offer to the lack of M$'s licensing fees is that you send me a check for several hundred bucks every two years. While we're at it, I'd also like a check every month to cover your costs of not having to download M$'s latest semi-effective security updates. Hmmm... and then there's the third party utilities that you won't be buying: McAfee, Norton, etc. Sorry, but I couldn't resist it. -- cmg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
