I've been trying to get things to straighten out with so success. Everything seems to be working fine for root, but when I made a brand new user, things didn't work there either. Start here has no icon and there doesn't appear to be any mime-type info. Since it works for root, my thought is that it may have something to do with permissions somewhere. Any ideas? --andy On Fri, 2004-07-30 at 00:54, Andy Choens wrote: > I've just installed FCII. I'm coming over from SUSE to see what FC has > been up to.
