Keyboard Preferences - Layout

2006-05-01 Thread Robert Tucker
I have upgraded from stable to testing (with maybe a couple of packages from unstable) mainly resulting from a wish to install KSlovar. However, now when I try to add or remove keymaps in "Keyboard Preferences - Layout" I get error messages saying "Failed to load image file-manager", "Details:

Ethernet questions

2001-03-11 Thread Robert Tucker
I'm trying to get my dsl up and I'm told I have to get the ethernet card working first. Can someone suggest the program(s) I'll need for the ethernet card? I'm using a Kingston brand and I assume there are specific drivers, etc. for it. I'll sure be happy to get past all this ignorance... Robert
