$ sudo rm -r /home/speedy/Intel-536/
Enter Y at the confirm query.

rm = remove
-r = recursive (include folder contents)

Small tip: you can use the tab in the terminal window to autocomplete words (remember case sensitivity). Eg:
$ sudo rm -r /ho<tab>/spe<tab>/Int<tab>

Thank u thank u, its gone finally!

Hmm Kvirc install has finished, lets see if it installs/works!

I'll have to find it first...

557346 2007-06-11 09:51:00 Right finally found Kvirc and in it now. (Had to log back into Kubuntu).

Yeha! Now I have to figure out how to configure it lol.

Its got more options than Mirc.

I'll have to test the modem tomorrow, to see if I can get on the net somehow, after I connect!

Thanx again for the help folks!

557347 2007-06-11 10:25:00 Right finally found Kvirc and in it now. (Had to log back into Kubuntu).Good to see you got it going :). You don't have to switch to KDE to use KVirc as it should run fine from Gnome. It is not appearing on the Gnome menu because it is part of KDE (technically). Try starting it by going ALT-F2 and entering in kvirc. I am taking a guess that 'kvirc' is the launch command ...

You can make your own Gnome menu entry for KVirc too if you like.

557348 2007-06-11 10:42:00 Yup Alt F2 worked. Only thing I have to figure out now, is how to make Kvirc pick up my outside ip address, NOT my LAN ip..

And how to identify in it.. It doesnt look ike it was made for Austnet. Altho, its got Austnet servers in it.

Umm the install created a shortcut on the desktop. I'll try Gnome now with Alt-F2 and see if it works :)

557349 2007-06-11 11:04:00 Yup you're right Jen, Kvirc is in Gnome and on the desktop too.

Managed to fix the identify prob in Kvirc. Just have to figure out how to fix the ip prob..
