I shall now try to install the rpms logged in as root rather than use kdesu konqueror. Perhaps that helps. ...
No, will not make any difference. 1. It is not necessary and a *bad* idea to *log* in as root. 2. kdesu gives you X access as root, much better plan than #1 above. 3. You can install rpms from the control line as: su -c rpm -<parameters> <program.rpm> and answer the password request. I would suggest reading and introduction to linux to familiarize yourself with the concepts and understanding of the methods utilized in maintaining a linux system. It would really help you to understand the why's and whatfor's we keep trying to explain. gud luk, -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
