Mandrake default homepage


How can I switch off the default Mandrake homepage it installed in all browsers?
I want it to be blank. I tried about:blank, but this doesn't help.

can you list exactly what browser you want to change the default page. Firefox and Mozilla are easy to change, the option to use a blank page is there in the preferences/options section of the toolbar.

I use Konqueror. The default there is "~", which, albeit, shows default Mandrake advertising screen. If I write "about:blank" there, everything stays the same BUT if I press 'home' button on the toolbar, it correctly goes to the blank page. But the first page which I see after creating each new window is that Mandrake page anyway!

Ok, in Konqueror, you have to go to a blank folder/page or the site that you want to be default. Then go to settings, save view profiles webbrowsing and just click on ok.

Oh, big thanks! Quite non-intuitive option, I must say.
