How will I be able to get it to run with all of these bugs?  I was able 
to make slideshows last night under Slackware, but I'm trying to get 
away from using Linux.  I just wanted to see if anyone else was 
experiencing this behavior (to see if it is actually a bug).  I don't 
see these problems listed anywhere.

Thanks
