It would either have to be a system default or a user preference. And HTML, I would think, should default to the default browser of the logged in user. Or the systems default browser. A GNOME user would not not have KDE installed/active so setting Konquer(sp?) as default HTML display would not make sense. Firefox is the 'default' installed browser for Fedora GNOME so that, in of itself, makes good sense. Does not yelp do all, or most, of the 'help' calls? I have never really tried, or cared, because most 'help files' are a waste of time. Developers and such write really good code but they, sorry developer people, tend to stink at docs, helps, and howtos', ;-) As for the 'help files' for this really simple GUI? One that 'Joe Average user' will/should probably *never* use or even see? And probably would *not* read the help if it was there. And that Joe 'I know what the heck I am doing' Administrator should know without a simple helpme file? The GUI that I looked at had, for example, an 'Add user' button. And an Edit user' button. And a 'Delete user' button. You need instructions for this? Think about this. If you need simple 'help me!!' instructions for this *you should not be here doing this!*. I am not with, nor do I speak for, Fedora. But there was a lot of discussion about cutting down the *sizes* of the various CDs and DVDs because of what sounded like, to me, space problems from volunteer mirrors. <rant mode on> IMO - and I do understand what is happening here - the *dumbing down* of Linux so that it will attract *dumb Windows users* (not my words, or thoughts, just the general thinking of some elitist Linux users) has created a whole generation of Windows users turned Linus users that are *dumb*. Not *dumb* but just don't have any idea what the heck is going on or why. If you follow this list you will see it every day. "I don't know what this is, or why it is like this, but I changed it and now my <fill in the blank here> which used to work does not work." And when someone, who knows what is/might be wrong, can help me fix it, and tries to help me I will argue with them? <rant mode off> Grrr... - -- David -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) iD8DBQFHWzbSAO0wNI1X4QERAnkjAKCuVVluejbTDfOrPf+T0s7knPxVngCeMr+A +eo0Ri13DbNO+Gp/tFKGtgo= =yNZu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
