I successfuly compile and install KDE3.2 for myself under mandrake9.2, howerver, also meet some difficulties. Below are some questions confused me: 1.I can change the permissions of files in /dev/sound as rw-rw-rw- via root, but next time when I restart the PC, they return to rw-----, and I cannot then hear sound as I usually enter as a common user. So I must change the permissions every time when I start the PC and enter KDE. In addition, I( as a common user) cannot play CDs, so what files in /dev must I change their permission to get access to my dvdrom? 2.When I print a file opened by KEdit, the printer seems do have some response, but always print nothing but a line of the filename in the bottom of the paper. 3.My native language is traditional Chinese. I've installed the proper kde-i18n and setup, but konqueror and kedit miss some Chinese words when browsing the web-page and opening the text file which contain Chinese words. Thanks for your reply. ___________________________________________________ . Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde. Archives: http://lists.kde.org/.
