Must be configured (duh - no warnings on this) Tools => Extensions => Alfresco, seems likely to set it to /usr/bin/konqueror but I haven't gotten it to work because of issues still pending because SMB is on higher ports and haven't figured out how to use iptables to allow communication with client apps that don't anticipate SMB on un-normal ports ---- > I haven't fooled with Lucene (search) yet but I suspect that your asking > means that you have had issues there too. ---- so far, all searching has worked well.

Anyone who figures out where to change this gets my admiration. Installed WCM (Web Content Management), nice, slick, imports zip files (not tar/gz) but has kinky method of 'virtual' for preview that I haven't quite worked out yet. Craig
