Since I've installed FC5 from scratch a few days ago, some programs

them. Reseting helps for these apps.

Other apps, such as Amarok and Konqueror are useless even after a
reset. Amarok will not play music, and does not complain- it just
hangs. It was working properly for about a day or two. The problem is
not in the sound system, and K3B made a sound when it finished
burning. Konqueror tells me that KDEInit cannot open whatever file or
folder that I am trying to open if I click on an icon. If I manage to
get it open and type the address into the address bar, it will open
the directory in question.

what worked for me (and I had some similar types of issues - no problems
with firefox and rarely use konq but amarok & xmms didn't work for me)

I updated (which you have done), ran the soundcard detection and then
restarted. It cleared things up nicely for me.

Tried that yesterday when Amarok stoped working. And until K3B made
it's noise I thought that the problem was with the soundcard.

And no I've no internet on that machine! On the router the green light
is lit, so it apparantly 'sees' the linbox, but the linbox doesn't
even see then router when I use the router's IP address.

I was talking sound card and you are talking networking. I was able to
get some sound stuff to work before I changed the setting and rebooted
too but that fixed it for me.

well...how do you get the updates installed if you don't have it
connected?

what do you get when you type...

ifconfig

cat /etc/modprobe.conf
