Hi List, ... I finally installed SUSE 10.1 on my old and trusty laptop. Everything works great except four little things: 1. The settings for the launch feedback delay have vanished. It works fine but I can't adjust it anymore because there simply is no way to adjust it anymore after I initially adjusted it once. 2. Is there a way to clone my complete KDE settings to a newly created user? Will copying the ~/.kde directory to the new user's home directory work? 3. I use Gaim for Google Talk. When I log into KDE, it always pops up its buddy list window. It works like a charm but is there a way to prevent it from popping up the buddy list window? 4. I installed Thunderbird and it works fine so far. I installed the English SUSE version because I don't like localized operating systems. Same goes for Thunderbird. My mother tongue is German so I tried to additionally install the German language pack for spell checking in Thunderbird because I also write German mails for obvious reasons. The installation went fine and it didn't spit out any error message. But the spell checking preferences do not show the German dictionary and it hence does not do German spell checking. What went wrong? I'm not new to Linux (been there since Slackware 0.99.15 and later went to SUSE 4.3 and from there onwards always with SUSE), KDE and especially SUSE but these things are just beyond me. My installation is 10.1 on an Acer Travelmate 621 LV with all current updates including zen, rug and that stuff. I even made the hotkeys work with acerhk and a little self written shell script and made the screen resolution go to 1400x1050 using the XiG X-server. But the above things remain a mystery to me. Oh, before I forget: Up to and including SUSE 10.0 YOU showed a variety of update sites. Now there's only the installation DVD and the location ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.1/. Since this can possibly be slow at times or unavailable, are there any mirror sites I can add to the list? Also, sorry, that's more than four questions. ;-) I'd very much appreciate help from you folks. Thanks very much in advance. :-) -- cul8er Paul paul.foerster@gmx.net
