You're missing kdeinit an xmessage for starters. [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ urpmf xmessage X11R6-contrib:/usr/X11R6/bin/xmessage This in not on CD1, my error, although I was able to bring up KDE with a single CD install - I'll move it. Looking at line 197 that's referenced, it only calls xmessage when kdeinit fails, so that explains why it wasn;t an issue here. [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ urpmf kdeinit kdelibs-common:/usr/bin/kdeinit This is on CD1, but not installed on your system? The other issue with entering the root password when trying to run MCC as a user is also probably a missing package. Try running it from the console or a terminal and see if you can see the error messages.
