Uncheck the flag in Kppp that sets the hostname after
a connection ('Setup' - 'Edit' - 'IP').

The telnet package now consists of two packages:
'telnet', which contains the client, and 'telnet-server'. To telnet to your
machine, you need both.

This seems to hit a lot of you. Regretably diagnosis
is especially hard for this one. According to the SIG11 FAQ, possible sources are:
- Wrong memory/cache speed settings in BIOS. Increase
number of waitstates.
- Bad memory chips. If you have more than one module,
try removing one.
- 30-72 pin converters.
- 'hidden refresh' option in BIOS is turned on. Turn
it off.
- Stupid IDE drives. Some drives cannot handle the
"irq_unmasking" option. Fix unknown.
- Badly terminated SCSI chains. Check termination,
cables.
- Bad processors. Especially some K6 seem to have a
design bug.
- Overclocking by default. Try to lower the setting
for processor clock rate.
- Power management, especially on notebooks. Try to
turn it off in your book's BIOS.
- Dust build-up. Might lead to weak shorts and bad
thermal flow. Well, clean your computer ;-).
For more advice and information , read the SIG11 FAQ.
So why doesn't this happen with Windows®? This is because GNU/Linux makes
much more use of hardware-specific features and therefore reacts much more
sensitive to flaky parts.

It seems the kdelib rpm does not install fully. Most of it makes it onto
the hdd (enough to run kde) but it does not finish, and does not register
in the rpm database.
Running rpm -Uvh on the kdelibs rpm (on
your Mandrake CD) installs it completely and the missing pixmaps on KFM (and
other apps) show up as they should.
(NOTE: I've received reports that this doesn't solve
the problem for some users. Regrettably none of those who reported were willing
to cooperate in trying to solve this issue...)
T.Rashid adds this (edited):
the error message reports a conflict with another
rpm (kcmclock-0.1-1.rpm).
what you have to do is remove the other rpm using the usual rpm -e --nodeps
and reinstall the kdelibs rpm and the removed one restart KDE and HEY! your
pixmaps are there!
(Would somebody please report if this works?)
Eric Dexter wants to help you, too (edited):
FIRST: rm -rf /usr/share/doc/HTML
THEN: rpm -Uvh [the KDELIBS rpm on your CD]
Anyone yet another idea? ;-)

Run
perl -p -i -e 's/-malign-functions=2//g' /usr/src/linux/Makefile
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/Makefile
It's a bad cc1-flag.
