It’s explained on the Permalink Options page. You enter something in your permalink structure box just like you would if you’re using mod rewrite but at the beginning you put /index.php/ . That’s it.

a very strange thing happened, after changing this to your solution with index.php and editing my htaccess appropriately to take the old rules out – the RSS 2 link from the home page comes up with a 404 error. The link as displayed is http://www.site.com/feed/rss2/
I wonder if something else needs to be adjusted?

i should add, the comments url is also a 404 error
as http://www.site.com/comments/feed/rss2/
the other links around the site .. (index.php/etc/etc) are working.
You probably removed too many mod_rewrite-rules. The feeds dont get generated via index.php but via wp-feed.php, wp-trackback.php

I got ya .. but the strange thing is when you do the index.php thing in the prefs, and according to allusion’s message – i apparently could ignore mod_rewrite althogether? right?
well if that is not the case, that is fine. i guess i will plug some rules in and see. i just thought this was a way you could do it without mod_rewrite. also, if it says to ignore mod_rewrite shouldn’t you be able to have no rules in the htaccess file and still have RSS links that work?

Allusion,
I tried what you said. I even copied/pasted the example line that was used then clicked Updated Permalink Structure. The page refreshed with the same page except the text box was empty. It changed nothing on my website.
