Even if it is not the predictably you are looking for? ;-) But this is something that I understood getting into Centos.... > What is the problem that you are facing at this time ? In Firefox 1.5 (which comes from the 'Installed' repo even though 1.0.8 is the version on the 4.3 iso), I do not have the choice when saving an html page to save the complete page (all images and such in a sub-directory) or 'only' the html page. I had this option on XP. Of course one advantage (but maybe not 'of course') is that I can go back and delete this sub-directory and all of the files. If I did that on XP, I also saw the html file get deleted. XP has them linked so they share fate (including copying and moving). On the gnome-list I was told that the choice is there with Gnome 2.14 on Ubuntu 6.06. Thus I suspect it is a Gnome feature. With the Thunderbird 1.5 (also upgraded from 1.0.8 via the Install repo) I do not have the Thunderbird icon on an executing copy of Thunderbird, even when I link the icon from inside the thunderbird program in the program launcher. Then there are things that I cannot figure out on Gnome that should 'work' or be there. I cannot change the program launched via the applications launcher in applications:/// The changes do not 'take' even though these files are in my home directory and I have permission to them. And I cannot figure out how to have a drawer show text instead of icons. And so far I have not found help for that via google searches (or answers on the gnome-list).
