Help Downloaded ISO's and burned the disks for MDK 9.0. Installed the system. Applied all the Mandrake supplied updates and security patches. Currently running KDE 3.05a on the desktop. It all seems to work. A little poking even got it to find my old printer and my old scanner. My "new" camera is another matter, but I'll not quibble.
Problems: 1. How does one get the aRTs sound server and Realplayer to live together in the same room? Realplayer won't play until I shut down the aRTs server. Then, Realplayer coughs out the BBC and Radio Netherlands quite nicely. Except ... 2. Everytime I click an audio link in a browser window (doesn't seem to matter which one I use ... Konqueror, Galeon, Netscape, Mozilla, or Opera) the browser opens a blank window with the audio URL (*.ram) in the location bar and only then passes the URL to the Realaudio AP. Why this extra blank window? 3. Why does KDE insist that Konqueror must be my default browser? I really like Galeon browser better and would prefer that it was the default for both web, and file browsing, and email calls. Is there anyway to set this up? Nahhh... I don't wanna use Gnome on the desk top ... I like the rest of KDE better ... Just the browser is sorta sucky. 4. If I try to change my video settings using the Mandrake control panel, it hangs the whole system. However, if I run "XFdrake" from a command line (as root) everything goes hunky-dori. 5. Same sort of thing seems to happen with the "Printerdrake". Thanks a bunch Harv
