Hello cbagger01

Thank you for the info - I'm just waiting for my router to be installed (well, for the phone line to be upgraded to an adsl capable exchange really) and then I will be giving DSL a shot - one thing I'd like to ask, tho' not a network issue:

Where do I set the parameters for the wheel of my mouse - there's no xorg.conf or similar that I can see in DSL and I need to set the usual "4 5" to activate the wheel.

Cheers - Gray

You can either set it by doing the following:

Boot with the

dsl xsetup

cheatcode and say yes to IMPS2 mouse,

or exit the Window manager (not "Shutdown", just exit window manager) and then type:

xsetup.sh

and answer the prompts.

Then type

startx

to resume graphical mode.

I've been playing around with firestarter, but not on DSL because it doesn't need it. Still, firestarter is Debian packaged so you can apt-get it with a hard drive install of DSL, or you can compile it from the source code. It's a pretty cool firewall to use if you are going to use samba, or some other sharing utility.

I am Linux Newbie. Firestarter looks like a nice firewall to try. Can you give me detail instruction on how to use apt-get to get the firewall and install it?

I am a beginer linux learner. Thanks in advance.
