Man, when will Suse post a newer kernel than 2-4-10?
I understand there's something wrong with the virtual machine, and I'm seeing some screwy things.
Like most of the menu selections under the Suse menu just *POP* disappeared one day, after I used Menu Editor! And fonts are wrong, even though set right... I have to select another, then select the desired, and THEN it is right. And in Susehelpcenter, /var/lib/susehelp/KDEkdeappl_en.html is missing, so I've lost SuseHelpIndex|KDE ApplicationManuals.
Does anyone have any idea which package has the Suse Menu items, like Applications, Development, etc?
And KOrganizer never notices an event I've set for alarm. I've used Time&Chaos for a long time, so am familiar with PIMs. But since the App manuals are missing (above), and KOrganizer docs are in XML, I haven't been able to read its docs. :(~
None of the things you mentioned have any direct relevance to the kernel but are related
specifically to KDE and/or its configuration on your machine.
Are you using KDE 2.2.2? If not I'd recommend pulling the rpm from SuSE's LinuKS site.
susehelpcentre should work in 7.3 against KDE 2.2.x though.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 OK, will DL K2.2.2. I'd gathered on this listserv that it had bad problems. Thing is, I'm running the latest KOrganizer, and this is a key app for me. I'm just concerned about kernel 2.4.10 due to the VM problems. I have got to get this stabilized for investment banking work, as I'm the only one to rely on, and it's my living. I need to do real work. On Tuesday 11 December 2001 11:34, you wrote:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Understand. Thank you. On another topic, my Alps MD5000 still doesn't work. I think there's a problem with the Cups driver. And Yast2 printer setup is crippled. One question I've been getting conflicting answeres on is, must I install Ghostscript with Cups? I've tried all versions of GS, including Mandrake's and Suse's 6.51. Docs say Cups comes with its own (minimal) GS, and the Alps driver is in setup. Printer just sits there like a lump. Winduhs prints fine on the same hardware, and when I assign the Epson driver the printer tries to go, but is messed up. I presently have installed: cups cups-client cups-devel cups-drivers cups-libs qtcups Any advice anyone? Fairly anxious for this. On Tuesday 11 December 2001 15:35, you wrote:

Ben, assuming I just want to get the sources and compile it myself. Does the
newer modutils have to be installed before or after the kernel installation?
In fact do you need it at all if you're already running 2.4.4 or 2.4.7?
