@teksavvy.com |  Linux beginner can't browse via Konqueror
Installed Kubuntu Linux with X-Windows + KDE Desktop. Can't get on any web sites via Konqueror. Do I need to select something somewhere ? HELP. |

Funny, Konqueror just randomly stopped working for me too as of an hour ago :P
Firefox and eLinks (and everything else) works fine, just not Konqueror. |

@teksavvy.com | I have never been able to get Konqueror to work. Is there something I need to set ? Is there a place to check ?
Can I download Firefox (need location please) to a disc via Windows and then enter Linux Kubuntu to install Firefox Browser ? |

Just install firefox via Synaptic. Actually, does FF not get installed by default on Kubuntu? If you can install via synaptic then your internet is set up fine.

@teksavvy.com | "Synaptic" doesn't show up in a search. Browser default is Konqueror. "Firefox" doesn't show up in a search. Need specific, detailed help please since this is all NEW to me. |

Firefox search unsuccessful. Adept Manager only shows Konqueror and it is greyed out ... can I conclude that installation was incomplete ? Should I make a new disc and re-try Kubuntu installation ? My computer is now partitioned 50/50 with Vista and Kubuntu. Will the NEW Kubuntu disc replace the first disc's data or will it now create a third partition ? |

Your install sounds like it's either an old version or something went wrong during the install.

That's the current release and what you should be installing. |

clubs: | Just installed Kubuntu 8.04 today. Firefox was not installed. Didn't have any problems with Konq myself. As mentioned above, sudo apt-get install firefox should get you what you need. |
