The problem was very serious and it was not just KDE related. It was not possible to delete any files in my user directory, I could not even remove that user account. That must have been the reason that KDE would not start. I reinstalled Linux, and since I did not know if the problem was related to Sarge, I installed Xandros, which is pretty close to being Debian anyway. I will have to remember 'dmesg -n1' for next time I get messages on the console. thanks > -- > Lee. > > Please do not CC replies directly to me.
