Hmm... I'm thinking you are either mis-understanding what we are saying, or confused. Click the KDE start button/configuration/packages and there is install, remove and edit. All separate. If you go to the Mandrake Control Center/Software manager, there is install, remove, update. ALL SEPARATE! It used to be one button where you could do all of those things in one application. Go look at Windows add/remove software. Guess what, you can do just that. Add remove and sometimes even repair applications all in one. I repeat. A step backward, NOT forwards. Say for instance, if I thought I had proftp installed. I used to open up the package manager, do a search for installed. If it didn't show up, I could click on the installable tab and try again. All in one application. Now if I don't find it in one, I have to open another application and try again. It isn't really a big deal and if there is some pressing need to separate them, then I guess you have to do that. ?? I just wish that the cutting and pasting from one application to another would start working like it should. I thought a standard had been set, so they would all start playing well together? Mozilla still doesn't work with other apps for the most part on cutting and pasting.
