Re: gnome configuration

["Fred W. Smith" <fsmith computersandthings com>]

Gleef,

I wanted to thank you for your help. It became obvious that I had some
corrupted RPMS and did not yet quite know what I was doing. You pointed me
in the right direction, which was what I needed. I downloaded all new files,
and did partial installations until all was installed and it worked just
like you said it should.

So thanks very much, and if I can ever help you, just let me know.

Fred
