hello, I seems like I neglected nothing in installing Kde because it was automatically installed by the Fc2 programme. I did absolutely nothing, out of the box stuff.I have been using Kde for years and this is the first time that such a thing has happened.I had thought about putting Kde and Linux on lots of school machines but as teachers in general are not specialists, I am now up the creek on that one. Thanking you in advance John Brennan-Sardou ___________________________________________________ . Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde. Archives: http://lists.kde.org/.
