There is a good bit of stuff with Gentoo in it so I missed the very one I was looking for. May give that a look if the dependencies are not to much. I wonder how many people think that is Gentoo the OS and they can just emerge it? LOL Sort of funny in a way. Dale :-) :-)

I wonder how many people think that is Gentoo the OS and they can just emerge it? LOL Sort of funny in a way. I also use Konqueror as a file manager, because it just works (TM) - well except for printing to PDF which lately is playing up . . . but I digress. I am running Fluxbox which is lighter than KDE and when I just want to poke around a GUI quickly I have found that Konqueror (or any KDE application) takes quite a few seconds to fire up. Gentoo (file manager) pops up in no time at all and uses less resources. However, as originally stated it will by default open files using a plain text editor which is less than useful with binary files. I tried to set it up to use a more relevant to the file format viewer (e.g. xpdf for pdf files, etc) but have failed to get it to work properly. Does anyone know how to configure this feature? -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
