I did the cp in /etc/pam.d/xscreensaver or whatever (didn't write it but it is on the mdk website for 9.1 , then rebooted using CD1 and the patch.pl floppy made as instructed on the same website. So the result is KDE hangs, I don't know to do anything about it. The error message is: the following installation problem was detected wile trying to start KDE: No write access to "/home/me/ICEauthority". KDE is unable to start. It hangs at the point in the process of "setting up interprocess communication. I"d rather not do a complete re-install aftere three days of sweating on the "learning curve" :( All ideas appreciated.

"yes" was the first thing I tried, however ls /etc/pam.d/ showed that the xscreensaver was not overwritten, is still there. IAs this the way it is supposed to work? I'd have thought that overwritten meant overwritten. :roll:

Truly newby question: A fix for mdk 9.1 says do # cp /etc/pam.d/xscreensaver /etc/pam.d/kscreensaver3 as root. So I did that, but then konsole asks something like: Do you really want to overwrite? and I don't know what to type in. What is the secret answer? (Not in my linux books) WilliamS :?:
