IT WORKS

I openned my clip art CDROM, went to a folder containing WMF images, and was EXTREMELY EXCITED to see all the icons change to what there image contents are. I "hovered" over many of them to see that Konq showed me the "larger" view of the image, so, I got it working

Thank you to both Stephen, and a very exuberant THANK YOU to Eco2Geek for sending me his pre-compiled source objects -=- I am so happy now, I can put this baby to bed now, (cuddles is doing the happy dance, again, around the room (yippie!).

Now, I guess, the biggest question, where do I go from here? I think the process of getting this whole thing going has cost me some broken pipes ( I am getting an error from KBackup about not having afio ( I think thats the program ), and a broken pipe, when ever I do a backup )

Should I (god forbid) think of a apt-get upgrade? Or should I do a dist-something? The KBackup still runs, it still backs up data, but it does report an error, and just continues. If my system is so far behind in updates, what should I do? Consider I am running on a 56K dial-up line here, but I can "take-over" the phone line overnight, if needed for an upgrade ( I've done it before )

Would a upgrade, or this dist-something, correct for broken pipes that I already have, or possibly just leave them alone, and possibly just create more pipe breakage?

Thanks again, both of you, for everything...
(possibly the biggest reason I keep trying with Knoppix, even through all the problems, is because of the "fantastic" support I get here )

A very happy,
Cuddles
yaaaaaaaaaaa, i've got thumbnail viewing of WMF images now ( YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
