I am currently installing DSL onto some old P166 machines for school use mainly as web browsers. I have got Firefox changed to point to a custom home page but when I edit ~/.dillo/dillorc following the instructions on the dillo homepage it doesn't change anything.

Is the dsl help page hard wired somewhere?
Can I change it (I have installed to the hard drive) if it is?
Could I get it to boot Firefox instead at start?

I am a linux newbie but so far enjoying the experience.

All help appreciated

/home/dsl/.xinitrc

# put X windows programs that you want started here.
# Be sure to add at the end of each command the &
if egrep -qv noicons /proc/cmdline 2>/dev/null; then
enhance &>/dev/null &
fi
dillo /usr/share/doc/dsl/getting_started.html &>/dev/null & fluxbox 2>/dev/null

=================

The line that starts with "dillo" is what starts dillo at boot. You can put in what you want.

The menu item for dillo also opens that page specifically, overriding the home page in .dillorc

Edit .fluxbox/menu to remove the URL, or to specify a new one.
