As suggested by someone here, I have taken this off the "Warning to Americans" thread because that was OT. I had sent a mail, which I did not see on the list, explaining that I had, in the days before the Asian font started to sporadically appear, been playing with the available fonts in the setup routine, trying to find one that was easier to read and printed better. I don't know if this had any poor results, or is unrelated. I thought I had set it back to where it originally was. Someone suggested running Eudora under WINE. I would like to try that. The example in Frank's Corner shows Eudora 6.0.1. Does anyone know if Eudora 4.0 (Pro) works? (I'll try it anyway, as soon as I can find the CD.) -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

I can't find wine on the machine. Is it there, and if so where, and how would I find it? I tried whereis and find and had no luck, and I did dir in several directories from root. No luck. I thought I was better at Linux than this, but I guess not. --doug -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Hi, Pat-- Yes, your instruction showed that wine was not installed. And, apt was not installed, either. After almost an hour of installing everything starting with apt from yast2, and all 5 CD's, the command rpm -q apt says that apt is not installed, either. I've never used apt before, but it seems to me that wine was automatically installed on earlier versions of SuSE, and now I can't find it at all, and apt doesn't seem to exist. And I went back to the KMail setup, found two lines with my email address on them, and erased the second, leaving one that says default, and the damned KMail still produces Japanese characters a significant part of the time. I am going to erase everything and start over, but how do I ensure that apt and wine will be installed and will work? I am getting very frustrated! Obviously, I cannot use Linux to get mail at present. I don't read Japanese. And the received mail is not Japanese, anyway--it just prints that way, on screen and even less usefully on the printer. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Either select those specific packages individually from the install screen instead of *just* selecting a package group, or, add them with Yast2 after you have completed your installation. You *will* run into problems when you use two or more different means of installation unless you really know what you are doing, ie: rpm's and tar-packages. Use packages from SUSE and/or SUSE contributors. Do not download tar-balls from Mozilla or Firefox, use SUSE packages. Mixing the installations leaves your rpm database amiss and you get corruption. IF you are EXPERT, disregard the previous paragraph and do as you wish, but you then will have no reason to present package questions here.
