Whoops. Sorry for not including more info regarding my installation re KDE2.
I downloaded the newest rpms from a KDE2 download site. I have not used any
KDE2 rpms
from the 2nd RH7.0 CD
Oh, Thank you again.
You're fast!
Much faster than my 56K line. :-( Whoops. I forgot. The modem in my linux
box is only 33K. :-(((((((((((
You are correct re the revision numbers, some are 2 an 3.
I will crank the download to run the entire afternoon and evening!
Ho, Hum.
Thank you.
Lou
