Hi, everyone, My harddisk running RH7.0 is developing bad sectors. What is the name of program that will run a surface scan on a Linux system? I man fsck and it seems that fsck is not the answer? TIA Auyeung ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As much as I'd love to blame this on KDE, i think you caused this mess. You can't copy .kde2 to .kde. The configuration file layout changed in a huge way. So basically what is occuring is that KDE2 is looking for the appropriate config file to write the changes you are making, isn't finding
