The setup file was missing from the dvd image. That said, the 32 bit version is working nicely and my biggest squawk is that kde has been gnome-ized to the point of not seeing many KDE apps in the pulldowns. Stuff like where the hell is the "control center" that lets you configure all this stuff? Change the background screens, set file associations and such? One of the first yum updates I did changed kdenetwork and I've now had to make a screen icon for kwifimanager, its no longer in the pulldowns, having been replaced it seems with a Admin->Network, (only if you've installed the kdeadmin package) which appears to be a nicer gui clone of system-config-network. This has been emasculated and if I ever had to mess with my wifi, a broadcom with ndiswrapper, its incapable of dealing with it because of the hatred ndiswrapper has generated. I tried, and had to go thru the install procedure for all that ndiswrapper related stuff all over again. And its not ever going to be fixed. Thats not my fault, it was what was in the lappy when I bought it. Sue broadcom is you have to for the info and I'll donate $100 to the effort, but support whats on the shelf for the buyer, or give us an .iso cd we can use to survey the system and see if its linux compatible so we can make a more intelligent purchase. AND Why the hell did I make an /etc/sysconfig/desktop file that contains 'KDE' if I didn't want a KDE desktop? I have NDI what it is thats running, but KDE it isn't. :( Yeah, I'm grumpy this morning. Way the heck too many hours wasted on this now. -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
