you started on Mandrake? Meine Bruder! =) Funny, I always used Mandrake

Mandrake worked pretty well for me for some time, but then Mandriva
came and gave me nothing but grief on my new laptop, whereas SuSE 10.0
worked like a charm. Never looked back.

aRtS, kdevelop, kdeaccessibility, kdetools, kdeadmin, i'd suggest.

I don't see any kdetools, but there's a kdeutils so I guess you mean
that. Thanks for the tips. I've not installed the devel packages
because I'm strictly an end user, I'm not likely to be writing
software any time soon.

Actually, it's quite simple. What you need to do is turn off the
auto-login. When you get the login prompt, there is an icon at the bottom
left saying "Session". - click that, and select KDE.

Thank you, I knew it had to be something simple!  OK, now I've got as
far as being able to choose my desktop manager, but in the list I have
the following options:

- last session
- gnome
- fvwm
- twm
- failsafe gnome
- failsafe terminal

No KDE anywhere. Twm, by the way... pretty radical, as in there's
nothing much to separate it from a simple terminal. I don't see much
use for a "graphic" desktop with such stark simplicity, myself, but I
guess it takes all sorts.

So anyway, I'm guessing I haven't installed all the packages I should
have installed, because the session manager doesn't seem to think I
have KDE on my system. Back to the package list. Any tips?

Thanks.
