I am a newcomer to Linux, since I have now since 14 days an aspireone with Linux. I succeeded with the help of this and other fora to make it my personal PC by rearranging the applications on the desktop: I did modifications to the config file .....group-app.xml and now those applications appear which I use most. I replaced firefox 2 by firefox 3 and the e-mail client by thunderbird. The latter has a problem when I try to introduce a new contact: the window which opens is not big enough and by reasons which I do not understand the slider at the right side of the window is missing so that I can not reach the ok button. Seems to be a skaling problem. However, I have another problem which bothers me more: I downloaded some files and they appear in the directory download, when I list them through the file browser on the desktop. However, when I try to install the programmes I downloaded through line commands I got the message file not found. I then entered the directory download through the relevant cd command and entered "ls"; now files where listed. It looked like as if the directory was empty. ????? Any explantion or better any advice please Winfried
