Kde 3

I installed KDE 3 I think successfully except for one problem
(hopefully I don't find more). I can't run kontrol-panel anymore. When I click the icon on the desktop I get:

KDEInit could not launch 'usr/bin/kontrol-panel'

When I try to run from the command line as me or root I get:

bash: kontrol-panel: command not found

This tells me kontrol-panel isn't even installed, but how can that be?

I searched the drive for 'kontrol-panel' but it was not found.

Where did I mess up?

Hmmm... Not sure, but search for KControl.

Sorry. Not the Control Center. Control Panel is what I'm missing: the one with Service and Apache Configs...and others, of course.

Nevermind, just posted to the wrong thread

Maybe you're looking for "linuxconf"?

In Red Hat 7.2 with KDE 2 installed there is a short cut on the desktop by default called Control Panel. This shortcut points to /usr/bin/kontrol-panel. However, after I upgraded to KDE 3 this shortcut no longer works. Maybe it has been removed from KDE 3 or maybe I messed something up installing KDE 3. Does anyone have an answer for this?

Yeah my Control-Panel disappearded too., and I was using RedHat 7.2 I think that KDE3 doesn't have a Control-Panel.
