Well, I decided to remove it from the system. I like it, but until I get used to Ubuntu more, I will keep it stored then install it some other time. It looks good though. I'm glad that I found it. Thanks everybody. John. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com

You don't say why you liked Safari, John... if it was the way it rendered be aware that Google Chrome uses the same rendering engine and Konquerer is effectively a sibling (ie. Safari was effectively a branch of a previous version of Konquerer so they're not identical but very similar). Sean --
