Hi, 1. The other day I managed (thru your forum's help) to get Yast's Install & Remove option to install 'Java' on my PC. It all went superfine but for one thing. I can't see anything on my Desktop or anywhere else. 2. By toying with 'ls' and 'cd' commands (and their prefixes -a, -R, and so on) I came to discover that the whole thing was most likely stored in my PC in hidden files. 3. When activating the 'Find folders/files' option I finally got a global picture of my file: '///home/user' containing some 11 folders/files starting with 'Java...' and contained in a number of subfolders which are all displayed under 'point' name. Example:-folder: 'Java' in subfolder: .local/share/Trash/file/ -file: 'Java 1_5_0-sun-52887' in subfolder: .yast2/you/mnt/i386/update/ 4. Well to me it looks like it is all there and the only thing to do is to possibly drop the whole stuff on my Desktop with the 'save' option of this 'Find folders/files' application or move somehow each one of the 11 files onto my Desktop into a folder of it's own to be able to work with it. Does this make any sense ? Don't knock newbie. Tks. JP -- Laissez vos bits brouter librement sur le turf de Linux ! Lassen Sie doch Ihre Bits frei auf Linuxturf herumgrasen !
