I have a POTS Internet link and get ~ 11 Mb/hr as a download speed in practise. Should I do any upgrading? Is there a better way of getting upgrades (CD from magazine?) Do I have to download upgrades in sequence to ensure that neccessary dependencies are followed? Konqueror (3.1.1) crahes every time I try to print a screen page. It is worse than M*******t! However it doesnt mean restarting the computer again - just Konqueror. Has anyone else met this problem? Should I install Mozilla from the SuSE distro as a better bet? I hope to make it on Tuesday evening. Thanks John Kilgour --Boundary-00=_lDSu/JEEusIPc6f-- ]
