I see in one of the mime menu's that kpdf isn't called kpdf-trinity, but 
kpdf-part?

I also did one full pass of memtest86-5.01. 1:10:30 in wall time before I 
rebooted to the new stuffs. No problems other than it ran the cpu as a 
single, and 10C hotter than normal, at around 47C.

And I might add, nearly 2 hours updateing as I just did it yesterday 
including the reboot, but today as mirror.xcer.cz is running at about 20 
kb/sec and theres 151 files to update, just the download will be over an 
hour. This is Friday, and I just did this yesterday morning.

You cannot convince me that 2 or 3 programmers have patched 151 files in 
1 day. I should only have to update that which has been modified, but it 
looks as if I'm being fed nearly the whole thing even if its just a 
rebuild with no changes. So what causes this?

Since I'm near the right coast of the US, in WV, is there a closer 
mirror?

And why is kpdf un-authenticated? Am I missing a key? Thats 4 questions.

Now its (xcer.cz)  down to 18kb/sec, 45 minutes to go. Sigh. Later 
obviously, much later.
