As I recall in 9.0 kio_fish is in contrib and a lot of the mirrors no longer have 9.0/contrib so it might be a bit difficult to find the RPM. In 9.1 kio_fish is installed as standard, and according to rpmfind.net there is an RPM for Suse called kio_fish so it might be easier to do it with the ssh server on Mandrake. You could always use gftp instead of kio_fish. Just start gftp and log onto the ssh server. Just remember to select the drop down box on the right as ssh. Not as pretty as konqueror, but it will get the job done. As for the "Reply To" in your posts. :- Normally when people reply to an email the reply will go to the same address the mail came from. But if you fill that in the "Reply To" field then when people reply to your mails they will always go to that address. This is not usually an issue since normally the addresses are the same. But when you post to a mailing list the "From" address is that of the mail server. In this case [EMAIL PROTECTED] When I reply to a post I want the reply to go to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Only trouble is your Reply To overrides it, and I have to re-address the post to make sure it goes to the correct destination. Of course that is less trouble than writing this paragraph explaining why "Reply To" is a pain ;-) derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
