An update on the non progress. I have been poking around in Konqeror file manager and noticed an Autostart option. This creates an autostart folder and was able to put firestarter into it - and it works. Well that is the good bit. The bad is that although it loads and works, Netscape crashes (surprise!!), and the Konqueror browser is not able to go anywhere. So it seems it is not a good idea to have Firestarter start first. It has been suggested somewhere to load it in ip-up. This does not work, but I notice from the xconsole read out that it does not load up this file. Extract below.

Any ideas on this. Regards, David On Sun, 25 Nov 2001 02:22:13 +0100, Mads Martin Jørgensen wrote:
