Of course....if you read the thread you'd see that I'd already provided
a solution... :-)
I'm not certain who you are directing the "get on with the rest of your
life" comment....but don't you think suggesting that the solution lies
within the installation dialog just a tag bit of overkill?
He said he couldn't find the check box mentioned by a previous poster, I told
him where it was. Why is that overkill? Should I leave him wasting his time
looking in KDE stuff?
