Installing konqueror

If you use Konqueror as a file browser, it can also be handy for displaying local and remote files in the same window. To split the screen vertically, hit Ctrl-Shift-L. To split it horizontally, hit Ctrl-Shift-T. Ctrl-Shift-R closes the selected split. Kubuntu's version of Konqueror supports Netscape plugins including Flash and Java out of the box.

If you installed Konqueror on a non-Kubuntu system, however, you may need to install the konqueror-nsplugins package sudo apt-get install konqueror-nsplugins. Once you have Netscape plugin support ready, you can install the appropriate Flash and Java plugins flashplugin-nonfree , gcjwebplugin , icedtea-gcjwebplugin , or sun-java6-plugin , as well as any other Netscape-compatible plugin.

For Flash, you also have the option of installing konqueror-plugin-gnash , which is potentially easier than using a Netscape plugin. While there's no official repository of add-ons, there are quite a few Konqueror plugins floating around the Ubuntu repository. Once the installation is complete, you can usually find the extensions under the Tools menu.

Some of my favorites include konqueror-plugin-autorefresh , which automatically refreshes a page, konqueror-plugin-babelfish , a translator tool powered by Babel Fish, and konqueror-plugin-webarchiver , a website archiver. There's also a handy third-party extension called Tweaking Konqueror tabs.

Although it is Acid2-compliant, many web apps, including Gmail, fail miserably in Konqueror. Because of this, at the time of this writing WebKit is only available for Konqueror in the Kubuntu Intrepid package webkitkde.

If you're pining for a powerful KDE browser in the age where Firefox is catering to a Gnome audience, Konqueror is a wonderful option. It's fast, extremely configurable, and robust. There's a very good reason that Konqueror is the default browser in Kubuntu.

I tried "yum install Konqueror" but it said the links not found. Can anyone give the link to the rpm file and tell me how to install it. Need it urgently.

Sorry for out of topic but didn't want to create another thread so I'm posting here. I am trying to install a network simulator software Nctuns.
