Hello, I´m newbee in linux and DSL.
Congratulations for your great project. I´ve two questions (sorry if stupid questions)

_.I don´t know how to run firefox. I have Firefox.tar.gz in the optional directory with the other .DSL extensions, all of them work but I don't know start the firefox aplication.
_.When I boot with the liveCD that I've created with the mkmyDSL script and I have my USB Pen Drive connected, the OS takes much time to detect all the partions of my computer (hda1,hda5,hda6 and sda1 "pen drive"), however these are detected inmediataly if the pendrive is not connected.

Thank you, sorry my english too.

The firefox.tar.gz is to be placed in your " / " , not the " /optional " directory ...
It will load automatically at boot time, rather than manually from mydsl menu.
If you must have it run from menu, rename it to firefox.dsl, and place
it in your /optional directory. This will use up much more ram, but
if you have it to spare, it will work..
It's best to simply place it in / , that is how it's designed to work ...

Could you perhaps create a /mydsl directory and provide a symlink to it in the / dir?

This way things are cleaner and neater and not as cluttered?

Hi, my second problem is that the OS take much time to detect the partitions and i can`t mount them till it has spent few minutes when my pen-drive is inserted at boot.
Can I accelererate the mount?
I dont knoe make anything that spent to see my partitions in the /mnt.
At first there are only
/hd
/auto/
/cdrom
....
but no /hda1, /hda5, /sda1 (my pendrive)

Thanks, sorry my poor english
