Thanks
How do i modify the boot folder i used syslinux?
Do you know how to add an icon to the taskbar for easier tasking?

Also after thinking about it, it was pretty easy to setup but there is no visual instructions on how to do it.

Sorry but do you know how i could transfer over my bookmarks from firefox on windows xp?

Export them on FF windows, move the file over, import them here :)

1. use the appbrowser to install the 'beaver' text editor extension
2. click on the panel 'run command' button and enter "sudo beaver"
3. use 'file open' in beaver to navigate to /mnt/sbd1/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg and open it.
4. you should see a line with boot codes like "waitusb=5" "quiet" - add your boot codes to the same line, save the file and exit.

The extensions create their own icons, if you'd like to do something in addition to this, I believe the wiki explains how to do it.

The extension that load at boot are controlled by a file named "onboot.lst", which in your case would be found in /mnt/sbd1/tce.

I don't think it would be a good idea to edit this file in windows, the symbol windows uses for 'new line' might mess up the file.

You can boot tc and use the beaver text editor to remove the gnome extension(s) from onboot.lst - the next time you boot, they will not be loaded and you can delete them.

I'm on a windows machine at the moment, but you could try clicking on the shutdown icon and choosing "exit to prompt".

At the prompt, enter "xsetup.sh" and select something that matches your mouse. Once  finished, enter "startx" to get back to the gui.

There are several choices - listed in order of increasing bloat:

1. Use gtk1 apps and gtk1-industrial-engine
2. Use gtk2 apps and gtk_prefs
3. Use one of the desktop "suites of extensions" like gnome, lxde, Xfce4

I've never tried either these.

Did you use the appbrowser to download the extensions (so that you get all of the dependent extensions)?

Did you try loading some of the auxiliary extensions like gnome-backgrounds and/or gnome-colors
