Very Computer

KDE installed smoothly, but I'm having a couple of minor issues. First of all,
how do you change the clock time? I'm sure there is a simple answer, but I've
just not found it yet. Secondly, I can not get the address book to allow me to
input e-mail adresses. The space to input this information is greyed out and I
can not seem to activate it.

Lastly, and this may not be a KDE issue so please disregard id so, is there
anything similar to the Perl Package Manager (PPM) for RPMs. I would like to
be able to query available and updated packages over a network. I am running RH
5.2.

Thanks,

OK, so I figured out how to input e-mail addresses in the address book. Duh?
However I am still trying to figure out how to change the time on the K Panel.
I used the timetool, but this did not change it.

Thanks,

Hello,

I'm absolutely NOT sure, but maybe does it take the system time. You
could verify and then try the date command if you are under Linux and if
it's the same that under Solaris. See "man date".

Bye

Just set the time and kpanel should pick it up. Is the timezone (TZ) set right? Read the
/usr/doc/howto/en/mini/Clock.gz for setting the kernel AND system time.

Have a look at kpackage.
