Hi,
If I install the kde2 and qt2 rpm's on the contrib disk will it blow
my existing kde installation away or will they coexist? It'd be nice if

Hi,
I have a few requests for updates.
indent 2.2.5
2.2.4 is buggy and doesn't always work. Also it's needed for the CADP
toolset
(Linux LOTOS CASE tool) to function properly.
Please put the HOWTO's in. There is no reason for this omission as far
as I can see.
(or make them available)
Krab
open a file or open
star writer it'll segfault. The solution? Remove the users .netscape
directory. I don't know why but this seems to fix it every time.
Go figure. Crappy product. Can't wait for KDE2's Konquorer o
=1001,gid=100,umask=002 0 0
change uid, gid and umask to whatever you want or just remove them.
If you have problems let me know.
(I'm gzipping it to avoid those problems I was talking about).
Sheldon.

I have noticed that some file systems won't accept some modes.
