This is what I got [root@localhost maparus]# chown-R maparus:maparus/home/maparusch

bash: chown-R: command not found

I noticed that if I try to move files that my user does not own, I don't get the options in the menu. With a reinstall, it is possible that only root has permissions on the old files.

So how do I get the permission back to move thee files?

Make sure your rights are not messed up with the reinstallation.

I'm not sure what you mean???????

I just had to reinstall Mandriva 2006. Before when I wanted to move a file, for instance a file from desktop to documents I would right click the file and have two options copy the file or move the file, I'd make my choise and left click the file hold the button down and a tree would open for me to drag the file to where I wanted. I like that setup but now since I reinstalled Those two options are not there when I right click a file. How do I get the options back?

Many thanks maparus

While trying to install Koffice off of Mandriva 2006 disk Koffice won't install. Says I need koffice-progs-1.4.2-11.2.2006 mdk.i586 but when I try to install it says I have a problem (koffice-progs-1.4.2-11.2.20060mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied wordnet)). So I tried downloading koffice-progs from the internet but still with the same results. What do I need to do?

many thanks maparus

When you say 'desktop' do you mean Gnome? KDE? Other?

So sorry I use KDE Mandriva 2006

I come to Mandriva after trying Ubuntu, Suse 9.1, Suse 10.0, Mepis, and Xandros and Mandriva 2006 seems to work better than all the other distros I tried. One little problem so far and it's not a biggy but with all the other distros I've used when you click on an icon on the desktop a smaller icon appears and starts bouncing to show the program is loading. Not so with Mandriva the small icon appears but is not animated and I can't seem to find out how to animate it

Many thanks maparus
