Frustrated, i switched off the comp and when i switched it back on, it was working. KDE is running by default. i installed most of the packages during the install. 1. Is there any list like windows add/remove programs list where i can see what programs i have installed? How do i change the default GUI or such applications? Guess that shouldn't be difficult and if i look around properly, i should find it. 2. How do i configure the sound card? i have intel 810 chipset. and AC97 on-board audio controller. 3. I have an internal modem which didn't get installed. And i cant kppp dialer because of that. It is a winmodem. The model is sm56 by motorola. I had lots of probs installing this modem in RedHat9 long back. I wud be glad if someone can help me with these.
