[notice: I am a linux newbie] When I try to install a screensaver from linuxhotbox dot com... I get this error msg: error: getopt is missing but required. I am running Fedora Core 3 with KDE. I am not really sure what else you would need to know. Also I don't really know if this has anything to do with it but when I go to change my screensaver all the preinstalled ones are missing. I am not really sure when this happend but now I have no choices as far as screen savers go however the one I have it set to now still works fine.
