I would recommend that you make sure you're using the latest version of konqueror (3.1.3), if you are maybe you're just out of luck. I email my bank every few months to remind them that they still haven't fixed their website to work with my browser (luckily for me setting User-Agent is enough), I don't have the time to debug your Yahoo problem completely but if you or someone else did you could always try and approach yahoo with a fix ;-) -- Fraser Campbell <fraser-Txk5XLRqZ6CsTnJN9+BGXg at public.gmane.org> http://www.wehave.net/ Halton Hills, Ontario, Canada Debian GNU/Linux -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

The only sane thing to do is to have separate / , etc ... unfortunately as few programs are backward/forward compatible this extends to /home because of configuration files and directories (DOTfiles).

I'm sure we can come up with a list of under five "checklist" items. Then rate vendors on how they stack up. This is where wiki comes in handy: many hands make short work.

Konqueror and Yahoo Groups

It does indeed, but none of the obvious candidates I tried seemed to make a difference to the Yahoo Groups server. The weirder part is that if I change the view from KHTML to KMOZILLA I can occasionally get a Yahoo Groups page to render. As I understand what view does, it is just changing the look of the browser interface buttons, icons etc. Why that affects what the Yahoo Groups server is sending is beyond me. As I said in my previous posts the KMOZILLA skin usually only works one layer in. ie. if I click on a link which requires that I fill in a info form the Yahoo Groups server seems to behave as if it never saw the info ... almost like I'm dealing with a browser cache problem ... I tried all the cache settings I could find to no avail. The true Mozilla browser doesn't seem to have any problems with this site. Mozilla doesn't seem to want to participate in simple cut, copy and paste clipboard operations (in KDE anyway) which is why I'd like to be able to use Konqueror.
