Hi, everyone,
Hope y'all are having a great weekend.
I've done some upgrades to my system, moving Netscape up to 4.7, which seems
to have fixed the lockup problem I had in Messenger under 4.61 (yay!), and
KDE up to 1.1.2. I did KDE by installing the RPMs that come with RH 6.1,
and also have bot

Hi, Ellen,
To kill it, type:
kill -9
That will do it.

I thought I should share the solution to my little problem, since I may have

Same here, with 4.73 and Caldera Open Linux eDesktop 2.4, so I suspect that
it may be something specific to Slackware 7.0 and this particular version of

Newer RPMs from Red Hat require either RPM 4.0 (Red Hat 7.0) or RPM 3.0.5
which can read the 4.0 databases (Red Hat 6.x and 5.x). Info on the new
version is available here:
