I did "housebreak" kmail before I clicked on the link, by shifting it 
left off screen about 3 inches, and pulling the right edge out until 
it wasn't wrapped.

That got me a no permission error.  kmail is using konquerer.  I have 
moz-1.7 installed, but someone needs to show me the correct linkage 
to make kmail use it, just selecting mozzila from the list doesn't 
work, wrong option or something.

However, in trying to get to a part of the page that would let me 
follow links onward to the file, every shortened path was an 
"unlistable virtual directory"

I did eventually get it, but preparatory to trying to install it, I 
put Mesa(Lib/Demos)-6.0.1 in (I think, glxinfo still claims its 4.0.3 
or thereabouts).  In any event glxgears is only running about 170fps, 
and tuxracer's screen updates are best described as "glacial".

I'll have to rebuild by kernel to use it as I currently have fbnv or 
whatever its called, built in, which won't work from previous 
experiences with the nvidia driver.  And I don't build dri at all 
because the help says its not nvidia related. 3dfx, sis, ati, 
rage/radion but not nvidia.

If someone can further clarify that for me, it would be appreciated.
