Hope you got Mozilla handy 'cause I'm not sure if Firefox can handle this site but have I got it easy for you....Hello listers,
Thanks to all who replied to my post. I'm sorry - I was pretty unreasonable on reflection. I have been frustrated at one or two things, and also on night duty, which does nothing for my tolerance! I do aplogise for sounding off.
Just for interest I had no problems going from win 98 to winXP but mainly because I also went from a ten year old computer with 200mhz processor and 64 mb RAM, to 2Gig and 256! But I certainly found computing a weird world when I first started.
The reality is, I have only booted to windows once in the last week and that was to print a letter head with a scanned logo for some work I do. I am learning my way around the various programmes I use, and it isn't actually going to hurt me to use Kmail rather than thunderbird. However I do want to get the webpage printing sorted because need the Rute tutorial in hard copy to refer to. I'll look at the printing suggestion you made Anne.
Go to this site : http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz [ note the *.gz bit - Mozilla can handle that - let me know if Firefox can please ] ...
At the very top left of this page is this link.. http://www.icon.co.za/~psheer/rute.pdf.bz2
Download that - unzip it - and you have a pdf file to print to hard copy. Warning, I have done this myself with rute and that is a book sized printout.

UPDATE:
Tried the above link in konqueror and not only did it open the site page but when I did a simple left click on the pdf link, konqueror offered to open it for me there and then .. ( it's downloading as I write this.) So from pdf to printer is a snap - Er... I have xpdf and Acrobat5 installed. The later gives me more printing layout options, though if I were to dig further there would likely be something in kprinter that would do enough to satisfy my requirements.
Sort of supports my earlier posting in this thread ... I must use what is available first, then experiment with the latest and greatest.
Hope you get Rute sorted.
Enjoy.
I think the main problem is that I want to run, before I can walk properly, in linux! A bit of patience is in order ...
A big bonus is that I don't ever lose my internet conection in linux. I don't know whether that is the hardware modem or the OS, but it's a big improvement on before.
Anyway thanks all. I'm not giving up.
