Frankly, I don't care what konkeror does or doesn't :-P
Seriously, I wouldn't use it to determine if some hardware, drive, whatever, works.

Hmm, I didn't know Konqueror was buggy. I thought it was giving me a fair representation of my system. Good to. know. I'm coming to SuSE from another distro. The file manager there worked pretty flawlessly. I wasn't looking for this. And to those who are enraged at me for mistyping some lines of code which were later corrected.: I did mention that my eyes might not be as good as they used to be. I have congenital cataracts in the bottom half of both lenses of both eyes. They look like the spokes of the bottom half of an old-fashioned wagon wheel. Now, I;m hardly blind, but, there is a certain amount of glare when staring at ambiguous spacing between the letters of a phrase on something illuminated, like a small laptop screen. I sometimes forget that I have this. And to those who are enraged at me for trying things other than those on this forum: If you review my posts, you'll see that I did try to stop after a certain point. I posted and said thank you to everyone and said that I was going to get a usb zip drive. I t was a rational decision because of a certain obsolescence that seems to be directed to the parallel port anyhow. And, as someone who founded his own business 26 years ago, I've learned that there really can come a point of diminishing returns on an effort. Is it logical to continue indefinitely on a project that's not yielding results when there are other things demanding my attention (and your attention)? I'm like a gambler that enters a casino with only a certain amount of money, determined not to spend a penny more. Survival requires discipline. But, folks kept posting suggestions, and I felt that I did owe you the effort even after I had decided to try another approach because of the time you invested. I started first with a outdated tutorial I found on line. No success. I tried with this group. Even when typing correctly. No success. I the tried another online tutorial.. No success I'm buying a usb zip drive.. success probable. I wish every one of you well. -Joe
