Right. The idea was to get transcode working by installing an earlier version of limlcms (1.08-3 rather than the currently installed 1.10-1). I couldn't do this so I attempted to remove the current version.

Can't that option 'automatically assume yes' - be dangerous!!!! It stripped all of the K desktop apps out, everything. I'm left with some basic desktop application that is letting me run this (fast without KDE isn't it?)

Any idea how I can get back to what I had? - I think personal files are still present as some directories were flagged as 'not empty' and not removed....

Meantime I'll try whatever I can.....

Ta very much, Stu.....
