1. From the k menu - system - configuration - KDE - components - component chooser - terminal emulator 2. check out urpmi once it's set up instead of rpm -i xxx.rpm use urpmi xxx (there are options but save them for later). urpmi can be set up easily from http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi/index.php 3. You can create a symbolic link with the command ln -s -- pm ____ The enemy is anybody who's going to get you killed, no matter which side he's on. Joseph Heller, Catch 22
