Need Startup Help Kbuntu

[Donn]

> great help, command line is soo much faster and definite.
Pretty much always is!

> But "Terminal" 
Variously called:
console, konsole, command-line, cli, shell, and others I can't recall. It's 
that black box that lets you type commands directly.

> couldn't find Ispel (alt F2 didn't work either) 
Not sure what you mean by "alt F2 didn't work either". Alt+F2 brings up a run 
dialogue - it's a quick way to run stuff. You would then enter the name of 
the program you want to run and hit enter. So, konsole, enter will start the 
KDE console.
You can also install an app called 'Katapult' which is pretty cool too.

> Any suggestions Tbird. 
Not really, I don't use it. But, just play around - don't be afraid of 
breaking stuff, it's not that fragile ;)

Yes, Tbird has it's own system I think.

This means you already have it installed, which is the way it *should* be 
anyway. So, don't worry about it.

> Office still wont run spelcheck
I am actually pretty sure that OOO also uses it's own system. The whole Aspell 
thing is a bit of a surprise. But I don't use OOO much, so ignore me!

Neither can I! Weird. You might be best served by going to the OOO website and 
searching the FAQs and forums there. 

If you solve the problem, please let us know what you did!
