Well I must say that between a USB DSL installation and the folks at portableapps.com, life could not be easier and better these days, so first, thanks for a first rate job, DSL community!
My first questions have to do with some items that I did not find info on, so am just looking for someone to point me in the right direction if the info exists (and my search skills are just not that great) or lend an idea if the info doesn't trully exist. A week of reading and playing hasn't gotten me very far, thus:
First off, on a thinkpad r51, ndiswrapper nor prism2 seem to get me going. (my apologies for not posting to appropriate forum; multiple birds--i'd like to get them with one stone so to speak). Not sure if the iwconfig from console telling me "TX-Power:Off" was due to unconfigured, or simply the onboard wireless isn't initialized. The man entry didn't seem to elaborate on this point.
Second, java. trying to run a testking program which requires jre, but when wine tries to open, I get prompted for the java jre, and the associated browse only allows me to look in 'program files\common files', and does not appear to let me type in the path to the java folder. did not find java on DSL.
Third, I see that I can run a command as su by typing *sudo <command>*, or temporarily move to root by *sudo su*. I noticed when typing su at the terminal, that I was prompted for a password that was never set (by me anyway), and that the only home directory path is for a user named dsl. Are these defaults changeable? it appears that 'sudo adduser' adds me to the ramdisk, but not the knoppix fs?
TIA.
Eric
