Drew If you've got 10-CE, install and update to current cooker sources. 10-Official was final last weekend, and sent to production (box sets) last Monday. Warly said last Monday that 10-Official iso's won't be posted for about two weeks. KDE 3.2.1 is in the CHRPM queue, but not on cooker mirrors yet. Actually many updates to 10-OE are in the queue. Probly show up on the mirrors next week. Maybe as early as Monday. According to KDE, 3.2.1 is mostly bugfixes for 3.2.0 Use cooker sources, not stable, if you want these updates, as stable will be un-symlink'd to cooker when they appear. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Proud to be an American Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] KDE crash
How are you trying access the partitions? Meanwhile I've never used the 7.0 version, in 7.1 and 7.2 it mounts those drives with no problem. I have had a few problems where I've tried to access those drives via something like CompuPic or Midnight Commander and it takes a while to read the file format. If I go into that partition in a plan ole Konsole or Eterm I have no problem at all. You may not have to reboot. It may just take a while for it to register the file system for that partition. Have you left it to just site for a while? Does it just sit there? Or does it finally let you have control over it again? tdh T.
