Installing Thunderbird

Assalam Alikum,

How are you all, I have a problem with installing mozilla thunderbird for managing my email. I simply can't find the script which is responsible for installing it as I did with FireFox. And when I went to the site which has help about installing, it was talking about installing it on windows!!! and did not mention anything about Linux installation. I have tried

  1. ./run-thunderbird

Konqueror

Assalam Alikum,

I am having difficulty in associating my Konqueror to html files. I don't use Mozilla and I love to use Konq. but when I try to open one of my saved web pages I get the following error message; "There appears to be a configuration error. You have associated konqueror with test/html, but it can't handle this file type"! (the exclamation is from me not it).

Why can't it handle this file type? I know that konqueror is a web browser and a file manager too. I don't like mozilla (compared to konqueror) and I want to use konq. because it gives me a very clear web page and a very clear pics and fonts, what should I do?

any body managed to get it running on something aother than RH or Deb ? if not, then what the heck is in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions on your machines as i keep getting an error that some shell library function is missing, now i'm sure all the needed "functions" are already there but i can't seem to figure out what they are so i could edit my BSD style init (slackware 10 - current)

ideas anyone, i seriously need the CMYK editiing mode in photopaint for work, or else i'll have to run Window$ .. or just watch a pretty MacOS X do nothing.

Forum software for Studio 32

Dear all,

Studio 32 is a community-minded studio that aims at providing music services to amateur and professional musicians. We offer rehearsal rooms, music accessories, instrument repair, music transcription, etc. We would like to create an online forum where the studio personnel and clientele can interact, to discuss those services and more.

We already have web space, so all we need is to install a forum application and to configure it. Can somebody from the EGLUG community help us? We are ready to discuss a modest compensation if necessary.

Thanks in advance,

Karim Ratib

Kwrite

Assalam Alikum,

I have been using Kedit for a while, loving the feature of creating a backup file for each file I change. But, I find Kwrite better than Kedit in some features (I use fortran codes and it is find in displaying them) but when I change something, it does not make a backup of the old file, as I am used to in kedit. How may I activate this feature in Kwrite?

kpackage 4 FC2

Peace, I would like to know if a package like KAPCKAGE exits for FedoraCore2. I have tried www.rpmfind.net, but the one I installed (kapckage-3.x.x.rpm) was installed correctly yet did not work. I typed kapackage and said it is not found! So, if there is any package manager for FedoraCore2 that would be great, the one that comes with it is awful!

PS. I love redhat

ASF to MP3 or other formats

Peace!

I would like to know if it is possible to do the above conversion and how (in details) on Linux. I would like to know if there are packages specially designed for this job or is it contained already in my distribution (Mand. Power Pack + 10.0)?

PS. To be honest, I could do it in Windows with a cracked Program (I then unistalled it) and it was like a knife in a cube of butter!
