Eric,

I used Carlos' site and downloaded okay, though I've been unable to 
install the tar ball.
The site I was trying before was the download link on the kdedev-quanta 
site. I found, after the fact, that I had actually download files but I 
had no indication of downloading activity. I guess I need a good 
download manager. (Any suggestions?)

Now, regarding the installation all went well but there were a number of 
warnings and errors, the same ones, I believe, that I got the first time 
around when I tried installing a week or so ago. Among them: kde version 
not defined, missing binary operator before token "(", newstuff error, 
all-recursive error. . .

I tired launching Quanta without success. As I mentioned to Carlos, I 
tried making an app link on the desktop but I don't know which file to 
aim at to launch Quantas.

How do I "ping" kde.org?

One thing you can do is ping the site...
ping kde.org
and then after a bit hit Ctrl-C.
