OK, since you all are so amazingly quick at answers, here's another question: On my new clean install of 8.2, I've got the file association for html set to Opera, then Mozilla, then Konqueror. However, when I click on a link in Knode, nothing happens. The cursor starts off by being the little hand, then changes to a little pointing hand (like the one in Mozilla), but nothing happens. What have I got set wrong and how can I fix this? Thanks again, Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic!

Ok, did you think to check your settings in KNode to see if it let you set the browser there as well? Sounds like it is getting half of what it needs, but not all. I too use knode for news, but have never changed from Konq as my browser. I have the latest Opera too, but don't find it as stable as Konq to use for everything. While you are in KNode settings, look at Reading News>Viewer and see if you have a setting for the browser used. :o) Patrick -- --- KMail v1.5.9.1i --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...

Patrick, you are brilliant. I looked again, and saw that the browser was set to Mozilla instead of Opera. No wonder the little hand turned into the Mozilla hand! Sorry to have taken your time with this - I guess I was tired and missed it. This was the worst install I've ever had with SuSE - on the same machine that has been happily running 8.0 and then 8.1 for a year with the same hardware, 8.2 couldn't handle the NIC and the SCSI adapter sharing the same IRQ. I spent a lot of time with this, finally just giving up and removing the adapter and the Cheetah. So I had to rebuild my system and I'm sorry I missed such a simple configuration issue in Knode. Thanks so much for the help. I really appreciate it. Gratefully, Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com Don't Panic!

************************ I take only a small credit for my knowledge Malke, as I have had and still do consult the masters here quite often myself. You gotta love IBM compatible x86 hardware, don't you! This stuff is so old and outdated still, why in the world should we have to deal with IRQs over 20 years after the first PC was built. It's lunacy and should have been done away with as soon as Amiga came out with autoconfig zorro slots! You might want to set your BIOS to PNP OS=NO and that way the bios will set the IRQs so that the OS doesn't have to fight them. Then you can probably use them again at the same time.

I didn't know that about the Amiga. I wish I had one! My BIOS is always set to PNP NO, and the weird thing about this install is, like I said, nothing was changed in the machine between the time it worked on 8.0/8.1 and the time it didn't on 8.2. It's a dual-boot w/WinXP, Athlon Tbird 1.2, GeForce 2 Ultra, SBLive, 512 RAM. It has 3 IDE hard drives, a simple CD-ROM, and it used to have the Adaptec 29601N controller for the Cheetah. 8.2 identified all the hardware correctly, but simply wouldn't allow the sharing of the IRQ between the NIC and the Adaptec, with the end result that I had no network access. Booting into XP showed no problem with the NIC and everything worked fine. I first upgraded, then blew the system away and clean installed, using different combinations of kernels, options, etc., with no luck. Finally I gave up and took the SCSI stuff out. I'll put it in my youngest son's box, and he'll be thrilled because there's only one hard drive in there now. Well, the foregoing isn't strictly KDE-related, but I appreciate your help so much.
