Looks like you missed "kdebase , kdegames, apmd, and you don't have PPP. Do you use a cable modem or dsl, and thus have uninstalled PPP? Anyway, the libkdefakes.so.0 is indeed a fake. ignore it. Get the other packages you are missing and put them with the others in the folder and then do " rpm -Uvh --nodeps --force *.rpm " and every thing should install. It did for me anyway. Let us know about PPP cause that is a puzzler. You may have to look for it in rpmfind.net and add it. Oh, and when you do it with the command like above the packages don't have to be any any order. Civileme has taught me much, and yet so much more to learn. Good luck, -- Dennis M. registered linux user # 180842
