Konqueror actually has this feature as a preference. That way you can have
the rest of javascript running, but disallow new windows to pop up. Very
conveni
ing as broad as "how do I install an ethernet card?"
it's tough to do more than point you in the right direction. Still, learning
by doing it yourself and reading the documentation is the Debian (and really
the Linux) way of doing things. It'll make you much much more competent with
your machine than you would have guessed. Good luck!

That's interesting. I'd heard a lot of rumblings over on the KDE lists that
arts was really really buggy in general still. Probably the only such thing
in KDE. Anyhow, I'd avoid arts right now until they firm up on those bugs,
which could be a while.

Hi Ron,
Try the xlibmesa3 package. It was the missing piece in my DRI config,
and
it's not included or referenced at all in the xlibs or xlib6g packages, so
it's possible you missed it.

I agree with this completely. I could not find good antialiased fonts that
