could you copy and paste that error message here?? I think its a dependency issue, but please paste the error message here so that we can help. There are millions of error messages.

Kppp has kde dependencies, do you have kde installed?If so, kppp should already be there and just needs configured.

no i doesnt seem to work, and i wanted to use a shortcut like on the desktop. i installed firefox but it doesnt show up in the menu and the only way i can run it is by trawling through folders until i find it.
