any KDE application menus and the only icon that shows for StarOffice
just runs the installer. I've done that twice and can't find the

Firstly, I have inadvertently installed the grub bootloader. Although NT

bootloader boot linux.

ext3 filesystems don't need a defrag program because they don't become
fragmented (Well they do, but not more than a fraction of a percent) as for
scandisk, it's "fsck" or filesystem check. If you yank the cable out of the
wall, or power off your computer without shutting down, next boot time it

Another quick fix is to open your 'home' directory icon from the desktop
