LOOOOOOOK A TOP POSTER!! just me getting my... yayas out. I have had a problem sendin from -kmail for about a week now. and since I personally do not like to scan throu the whole e-mail for the latest info, I will keep on posting at the top and welcome any one it bothers to either hit the delete key, or add me to the filters list, just don't expect to learn from that what you can not see. In my very humble opinion, this e-mail list is one of the best sources of support you are likly to find for any OS and if help can be had, you is likely to find it here. but first, we need som more info about the problem. which type of install did you chose? (recomended or expert? server, developer or workstation/desktop?
