Please could anyone point me to the KDE Control Center in Mandriva SE 2005?
online directions point to the control panel under K>Settings>Control Center
and on my desktop in which K =Menu (there is no K anywhere), there is no
'Settings' nor anywhere a 'Control Center'.

Am I using the wrong linux instructions for my Mandriva SE 2005? I am using
these guidelines: http://www.tuxs.org/winusekde.htm. TIA for all your
help... katy

Thanks BT, is usr off of Menu? or how do I get to USR from the Menu (Start)
button? and then where from might be the capability of removing software?
I thought I read that the Control Center was like windows control panel
where a person could add/remove programs, is that possible in the
/usr/bin/kcontrol? or if not, where would this capability be?
Still learning.......... TIA, katy

You might want to ask Madriva questions in the the Mandrake usenet
group alt.os.linux.mandrake :)

Guessing you want the mandrake control center.
You get to
KDE Control Center from System-->Configuration-->Configure Your Desktop
Mandrake Control Center from System-->Configuration-->Configure Your Computer

If you cannot get to the Mandrake Control Center
you can click up a terminal and do a
su -l root

export DISPLAY=:0
mcc
