Good point (I've been digging so much, I finally figured out that it has nothing to do with it.) Seems my screwing around with a failed install of KDE 3.05 messed up another file.

Keep in mind, my installation was working fine and I had done nothing to it (messed around with KDE) when this problem started. This reference is to someone who did not read the instructions to do a (as root) -net install followed by a (as user) straight install (Workstation, in my case). The SIOCGIFADDR did not occur until I messed with KDE. It appears this is a system call using ioctl often within ifconfig files. I'm assuming (now) that one or both of the packages containing these files is what is messed up, so I will reinstall them (actually, five programs). > > 6: I also get the occasional error: > > > > kioslave : ###############SEG FAULT############# > > I think that's a KDE error. *shrug* How dare you "shrug" at me, Lonni. :). I think I know where to look it up, so I'll try to do a package reinstall and see if it can be fixed. Thanks, anyway. If I find out something useful to others, I'll send it to the list. - -- Robert Black Eagle The more I understand, the less I know.
