Nonsense. Bothered trying the trivial method? Uncommment the two sources in /etc/apt/sources.list and choose communicator from dselect or Corel's gui thingie. Or you could do it the way you seem to be doing it -if- you remove the Corel-supplied browser. Obviously it's being found first in your path. > http://linux.corel.com/products/linux_os/buy.htm > > GUess it's time to download *real* Linux .. Ideas on that plan? Yes, you should fix your pathing before mindlessly inventing conspiracies. You have the source: go find the "this will break communicator" stuff and submit a patch. -- Brian Moore | Of course vi is God's editor.
