Thanks, am downloading/installing KDE-3.5.2 now. :D

Did you get Klamav from the Klamav website? Or somewhere else? It isn't in my MCC in 2006. :o

Ok, I'm new to Mandriva, where are the rpm's???

How does one get PUP to work. When I first opened it the 'output' was: /dev/lp0 and the Printer was: Lexmark Optra 40/45. Neither is correct for me. I have a Printer: HP 3940 and it is located at /dev/usb/lp0. I opened PUP in root and was able to change 'output' to /dev/usb/lp0 but the drop down list for printers only contains 5 options unfortunately none close to my needs. Can anyone help me with this??? Of what use is a printer utility that only works with 5 models??? I must be missing something. Time to Google. B)

I did find a couple of docs to install. A 'Discovering Mandriva' and a 'DrakXTools User Manual'. I already had KDE Help Center. This should be very helpful. What I want to do is get my multimedia stuff configured as well as Azureus. Among other things I need to install win32codecs, libdvdcss, and Sun Java JRE-1.5. I think I know how to install them the next question is WHERE to install them.

When I installed Mandriva free the install CD's referred to something calle "Official Mandriva Linux User's Guide". Where do I find it? I have looked and will continue to do so. I need this or something similar perhaps compareable to "Stanton Finley's Installation Notes" for Fedora. Any advice out there? I guess what I am looking for could also be called a configuration guide. It's time I read RTFM for Mandriva!!!

Thanks for the info. My current firefox will do just fine for now. If only I could get thunderbird to open from the 'Mail' icon. :o -
Can't boot to Ubuntu on other partion [solved]
Red Knuckles replied to Red Knuckles's topic in Hardware
Thanks, I should stick to one OS until I RTFM on partioning. Where is a good manual for partitioning? What would be a good partioner to use? I have QTParted on the 'System Rescue CD' plus whatever the various Distros offer. -
How do I get Thunderbird to open from Firefox?
Red Knuckles replied to Red Knuckles's topic in Software
I haven't been able to figure this out yet. I don't understand the French site enough to do anything with it. MozEx from Mozilla/Extensions won't install. It states that it is incompatible with my version of Firefox [1.0.6]. Which brings up isn't that a fairly old version of Firefox? How do I upgrade to Firefox 1.5 or even 1.0.7? -

Problem with "Upload Your Configuration" [solved]
Red Knuckles replied to Red Knuckles's topic in Software
Ok, I've got the packages installed and the KDE Desktop is up and running. The system configuration works as well now. It leads to a for pay service which I might be interested in AFTER I determine that Mandriva is my main OS. Right now I'm trying a number of systems [Fedora, Suse, and Ubuntu as well as Mandriva]. If I have to pay for all of them it could get quite expensive!!! :D -
Problem with "Upload Your Configuration" [solved]
Red Knuckles replied to Red Knuckles's topic in Software
I screwed things up and had to wipe my HD. I'm now working on a fresh install of Mandriva. I selected the 'Icevm' [not sure of spelling] instead of KDE desktop during the install. I now don't seem to have that option. Wish I new how to change desktop back to KDE. Can anyone help me??? -
Can't boot to Ubuntu on other partion [solved]
Red Knuckles replied to Red Knuckles's topic in Hardware
I managed to screw things up worse and had to wipe my HD and start over. I'm working on a Mandriva install right now but would like to install other distros on my HD [300GB]. What is best way to do that??? Also during install I selected Icemv Desktop [not sure I spelled that right] rather than KDE. Can I switch it back to KDE??? If so How??? -
