If you're looking to recover a file you've already deleted, I can't help you. But if you're looking to solve the problem in the future, you should consider installing libtrash. It gives Linux a real "trash can" that works in Gnome, KDE, the console, and everywhere else. - Robert > -Origina

one person mentioned the problem but no one had an answer. Surely this is a major issue - how is one to use a dial-up modem? The way I'm doing it now is with the "neat" utility, which requires one to use the root password. This is not good. I'd appreciate any advice. regards

I'll put in a plug for XFCE - just as fast as fvwm but really easy to configure. XFCE is not installed by default, but the RPM is on the Powertools CD, or else download it. Create file .xinitrc with the line "startxfce" to make it your default desktop. On Tue, 18 Dec 2001 09:08:42 +0100 Thomas
