Well, trouble-shooting with a shotgun again, trying to find that K3bSetup program, which I had hoped resided in k3b-devel. So, I did that. erased the K3b package completely, begged, pleaded, and kiss yum's butt to install kK3b* to give me everything it had... show me what you're workin' with time. K3b-devel is there, it just doesn't like something about the K3b package and refuses to install, so yum pouts about it and shuts down having done nothing at all. I did a google and others are also looking for the package that the K3b error message says will fix everything. This was one of my rants with FC5. On install, everything is /dev/sda for my DvD and /dev/sdb for a 200 gig HD. NOW it's magically /dev/hda and /dev/hdb although /dev/hda1 is supposed to be the boot partition. <bangs head on keyboard> Xine does the same thing. Burps an error message, Can't find Medium or something to that effect, but when I click on "DvD" it plays the movie. As David Byrne of the Talking Heads would wail, "How did I get here?" <chorus: "...water flowing under ground." "Into the pool again!" Which I believe is a reference to re-incarnation and finding yourself right on your back again in the dung heap. <--- I cleaned that up for Polite Society. So, can relate to that, same ole same ole. Shoot me and I'll just be back again, still bitching about /dev/sda like I had good sense, and marrying the last three all over again. <sigh> I need some BBQ brisket. Comfort food. Ric
