Dear Carl: I am only reporting what the author says. I installed K3b from apt-get. When I tried to use it, I got this message. After being told that I should run K3b as user, I switched to user, but as soon as I tried to run it as user, I got the author's admonition again. So, to be on the safe side, I'm going to stick with his recommendation. Benjamin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
