(I should certainly hope that you're not downloading over 4000 updates - in fact, you probably have less than a quarter of that number installed)

598065 2007-10-05 03:34:00 In yr applications or I think on yr desktop is Synaptic.If u click that it will come up with a list of everything installed and available to install on yr system.Both flash and the latest FF are on that list and you will work out things when you see the list.Everything from there on is automatc,no need for Tars etc. kjaada (253)
598066 2007-10-05 03:34:00 The bottom line tells me this:

Install 2, upgrade 192, remove 0, 944 installed, 192 upgradeable, 4478 available

download: 252M, installation:98M

It's still happening...all that "k-" stuff! Phew!:nerd:

598067 2007-10-05 03:42:00 See?

Here's some of the Swahili I was talking about:



tar xcvf file
cd directory
./configure
make
make install

what is: "xcvf"?

598068 2007-10-05 03:45:00 Well...it's done but I still don't have the newest Firefox yet...I have 1.5.0.12

And the taskbar is still missing....yuck!

Here's some of the Swahili I was talking about:



tar xcvf file
cd directory
. /configure
make
make install

what is: "xcvf"?To find out what options mean for tar, you can go to terminal and type 'man tar' which will bring up the manual for tar

598070 2007-10-05 03:54:00 You really will find that PCLOS is MUCH better,Why are you frustrating yrself with kubuntu?
You can play with that after you pick up a bit from PCLOS.Oh and you will find that most USB printers will not work on Linux without some tweaking.Linux likes serial printers and scanners.

598071 2007-10-05 03:58:00 Now I have something called "Konki" on the desktop and this:

Install_flash_player_9_linux-Konquerer on the top bar

and there's a few icons in the window...

flashplayer_install (looks like a "read me" document)
flashplayer.xpt (which won't open unless I can guess how)
libflashplayer.so (which does NOTHING at all)

I am ALMOST completely convinced.....this L-stuff is just strange!

If I knew what those acronyms actually meant, it'd help.

598073 2007-10-05 04:07:00 If u are using FF u do not want Flash in konqueror although I feel you have Konqueror as yr default browser.That should add to yr confusion LOL kjaada (253)
