Installing packages
I am having some problems installing rpm packages after a recent reinstall of Mandrake. Instead of automatically starting the install when I double click on something, a little program called the kpackage opens and I then have to click install. The only problem with that is that it doesn't put buttons in the menu and I am not smart enough to figure out how to do it manually. I am a newbie and would appreciate any help any of you have. Thanks!
