You'll find it helpful to try to forget what you learned from Windows. You should reboot your computer every six months or so, after you've powered it down while you clean the dustpuppies out. > I did manage to install the Chimera web browser from the CD which is > supposed to be html 3.2 compliant, but I still am having problems trying to > download something, that if I go into Windows, I can d/l with no problems. > It keeps telling me that it cannot open the file from the web to d/l it. > Also, the Chimera browser, if it cannot open something, it locks up for the > entire time it is trying to open it up, even though you hit the stop button. Chimera is a lot older than kfm, but it sounds to me you have network problems. Can you reach anything in the outside world? Tell us a bit about your network setup. Can you ping your default router?
