Have installed Mandrake 9.1 and on completion of install to desktop am unable to locate KPPP to dial up to my ISPO.Have conducted search in ROOT but KPPP does not show up
Add icon for CD play but NO sound.nor can I find volume control icon
Terminal icon and Kmail added to taskbar etc.
Any solution as to How I can add the missing software? with out doing yet another install of 9.1

First open a terminal and type in:

which kppp

to find out whether kppp is installed or not. If kppp, or any other package you need, is missing you can install that package without doing a reinstall.

Hm, at least I can help with the volume control: run

aumix

from a terminal, and you should get some controls. You can also use this directly from the terminal. Look at the man page.

Thank Stefan
Have just installed Mandrake Version 9.1 as an upgrade from Version 9 that was fully operational.Sound KPPP CD player.
On first reboot it had saved my Desktop confifuration ,but NO Sound or KPPP or CDPlayer would work.
I intend to reinstall Version 9 and wait till version 10 appears.
Version 9.1 is a dead loss
Expert LINUX installer

Aha, you made an UPGRADE you say? I tried that too at first (from 9.0), but then really NOTHING worked, so I had to make a full install.
