I have not once, with the exception of files on the

difficulty. Partly, it has simply been because I

Last week I downloaded about 10 gnome RPMs from
Ximian, including the gnome-core ximian file. Today I
decided that I would install them, but the message
that I got back from each attempt was that they were
already installed. So, I assumed that what I thought
was a download was actually a download-
Gnome (fortunately, I had turned autostart off) and
that, as well as KDE, seems to be OK.
So, all of my original message below is more or less
still true.
Thanks.

The serious problems with gnome seemed to be fixed (I
did find still another gnome RPM. Maybe that did it I
still can't understand why it was necessary to do it
manually, though.

New problem.
I am having a rough time downloading, decompressing,
and installing programs. I've pretty much figured out
how to download and then decompress, but then don't
know how to install them. (Is that "compiling?) My
current efforts have to do with gnuCash 1.6.

To do some work from boot, I logged out of my regular
KDE session and then loged in as root. When KDE
finished reloading, it left the screen entirely
frozen--keyboard did not respond at all. The only
thing I could do was restart the computer.
It now makes it only part of the way through the setup

Thanks everyone re: the | more solution. I thought
that only worked inside a file. Using the scroll bar

Isn't there some way to control the way that
information is spewed out (more than a screenfull) in
Linux? I find the "locate" command so much better than
doing "Find" with KDE. but I don't know how to stop it
from scrolling off the page before I can read it.

This has got to be related. When I open my KDE window,

I take it I should be able to use fsck (formatted
correctly) *after* completing the shutdown. It seemed
when I tried it again, using the Rescue option on the
