hit CTl+Alt+F1 to get a text console. Log in as root and type update-menus -v Ctl+Alt+F7 will take you back to a graphical interface and your menus should be OK It is a known bug in the rpm package. There is an updated package on the update servers. It should have been installed when you updated. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
