For that, I just run a copy of konqi, grab the directory and drop it on the k3b source view. However, k3b and dvd-tools are both from much later than FC2 distro versions, k3b from a konstruct build of kde-3.3.0, and dvdtools from the tarball. -- 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.
