All:
I am having problems downloading or viewing PDF files using Firefox 2.0.0.6 
with Mandriva Linux 2008.  No
matter how I have reset Firefox or the KDE desktop to show that I want the P
DF files either downloaded or
viewed with kpdf, the popup window appears asking if I want to view the sele
cted PDF file with Cinepaint or do I
want to download it?  Any help on this matter?

You may want to look around in pan or your editor and set line wrap to
something between 65 and 70. Some subject matter experts may choose
not to respond if they have to reformat your post.

First thing I would suggest is go to http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ pick
your main, contrib, updates, non-free mirrors. CLick the Proceed to
Step 2, 3, click up a terminal,
su - root
and cut from browser, and paste in terminal. Then do a

urpmi --wget --auto-select --auto
to get all your updates.

That should bring you up to date with
mozilla-firefox Version: 2.0.0.11-1.1mdv2008.0 and several other fixes.


exit     will close the root session
exit     will close the terminal.

When the popup pops up, use the pulldown to select another app to use. If
the one you want isn't there, just type it in iirc. I use acroread. But I
had to install it first. As far as I can remember, this has always been
like this.
