You better be sure about what you install as your OS, sir, or you can encounter bad suprises...

I'd would start by launching the application from the GNOME menu, it should come up a wizard. > How do I create clickable icon to dial into my ISP as a 'normal' user? I can't tell for gnome-ppp but this can be usually done in wvdial by definining different ISPs profiles [sections] and then passing it as argument when calling the binary, e.g., "wvdial my_first_isp". Anyway, if you get no satisfaction with gnome-ppp, try another dialer ;-) (I, for myself, prefer to use the plain wvdial). > After those questions are answered, how do I download and install > SeaMonkey such that clicking an ICON will dial into my ISP and launch > SeaMonkey -ICEweasel is FROZEN out as acceptable method. Mmm... whaaat?! Once you're connected to the Internet, you open Synapctic and select Seamonkey (here renamed to "Iceape" for the suite or "iceape-browser" for the browser+composer) to download. And what happens with Iceweasel? :-? > NOTE BENE: WEB references needed as Linux not working too well now ;/ Mmm... it's not clear what[who]'s not working here >:-P Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
