Colin . . . Colin . . . you are going much much to fast . . it's like the devil is chasing you !If we could do one thing at a time it would be much better !! This way you only end up having a mess.Start with one install, without updates . . and show me 2 things:

$  cat /etc/sysconfig/mdkapplet$  cat /home/kamicota/.MdkOnline/mdkonline

Bruno :"> Both deskies ARE installed and BOTH are UPDATEDThis from KDE/jamicota on the quad [kamicota@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/mdkapplet# Update frequency (in seconds) [default is 3 hours]:UPDATE_FREQUENCY=10800# Initial check will be delayed by (default to 5 minutes):FIRST_CHECK_DELAY=300000# Globally enable or disable check for new distribution# (in order to offer live distro upgrade):# (default is "false", meaning check will be done)DO_NOT_ASK_FOR_DISTRO_UPGRADE=false[kamicota@localhost ~]$ cat /home/kamicota/.MdkOnline/mdkonlinecat: /home/kamicota/.MdkOnline/mdkonline: No such file or directory[kamicota@localhost ~]$Looks like I need to redo the KDE/colin on the 4600+ and NOT update OR even redo the Quad alsoCheers for yearsColin :thumbsup:

Colin . . . . the issue is that I would have preferred you did one install at a time and waited with updating !I would like to edit a few files before you do any updates or make any changes.After that you can do the updates and we can move on to the next computer for the install.Also, maybe it would be wise to - during the install - count to ten and after that check all settings before you click on OK. ( in other words: slow down ):"> Bruno

BrunoFor now will leave KDE/kamicota on the Quad BUT will reinstall 2008.1 KDE/colin on the 4600+Am also downloading 2009.1 MDV Livecd KDE just to play with the HOME directory and see IF I can get that to work Similary as the Gmnome/or KDE 3.5So will be off and redo the 4600+ And once it is on will get back to you with the results of --->>>$ cat /etc/sysconfig/mdkapplet$ cat /home/kamicota/.MdkOnline/mdkonlineCheers for YearsColin :">

Okay here we go Colin . . .first as user, not as root:

$ mkdir .MdkOnline$ touch .MdkOnline/mdkonline$ kwrite .MdkOnline/mdkonline

The last command should open kwrite with an empty page . . please copy and paste this text:

AUTOSTART=falseDO_NOT_ASK_FOR_DISTRO_UPGRADE=trueDO_NOT_ASK_FOR_RESTRICTED=true
Next let me see:
$ cat /home/kamicota/.MdkOnline/mdkonline

After that we will do the next change.:"> Bruno

$ $ mkdir  /home/kamicota/.MdkOnline$ touch  /home/kamicota/.MdkOnline/mdkonline$ kwrite  /home/kamicota/.MdkOnline/mdkonline

Okay we are ready for today . . you can do the updates . . BUT:1). After the updates check with "cat /etc/sysconfig/mdkapplet" if the value in the last line we just added is still "true" and not changed to "false" ( if not you need to change it to "true" again.2). Tomorrow we will need to make more changes before you set up the local ftp server.Have funB) Bruno
