Duh - I almost forgot about Firestarter, and that's what I actually started
with today! I'm familiar with it from using it with Fedora. I just
installed Sarge, and I'm new to Debian and pretty new to Linux. I have some
issues with X and my display, and I don't have Gnome working yet. I do have
KDE working (at some stupidly low resolution), but I couldn't find an entry
for Firestarter anywhere in the KDE menus (after appropriately installing
Firestarter). When I did the same things in Knoppix/Sid, I did find the
Firestarter entry in the KDE menus.
Anyway, I think I will keep working on getting Firestarter going. What if
I'm using KDE and open a terminal -window- and then start firestarter - Will
that make the GUI appear?? I know it doesn't work from the console - just
says it can't find any screens.
I don't read anything about it having a text mode. Thanks! - John
