But if I use a distribution other than Mandrake, this will not be the case. For example, if I want to mimic the KDE menu currently in use on my Mandrake box on a Debian box or Fedora box. I want to recreate the ordering as I have it now, but I need a snapshot of the current organizational structure with the associated programs. -- Cheers, Trey --- "There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
