I have, not long ago, upgraded to Potato. However I have had to stay with the Slink version of KDE because if I update my sources.list to include the Potato version of KDE I find that because of dependancy problems with qt1g and libqt1 ( they won't co-exist ) I would have to delete a number of my

I am running Potato with kernel 2.2.17pre6. If I dial out to my ISP kmod loads the appropriate modules but they are not unloaded, after pppd is terminated, even though there is a Root crontab to do this. If I type, as Root, 'modprobe -r', which I understand will unload any unused modules, no mod

Thanks to all those who replied to my e-mail. I had libc5 installed but I couldn't find, in the WordPerfect documentation, what other libraries might be required. Judith gave me the clue! I did have xlib6 but not the libc5 version of xpm. Installing that has solved the problem. Thanks Judith.
