The web server usually runs with a user different than root for security concerns. On the NSLU, it may be root -- check the NSLU documentation. > 3. As far as I know, I have no web SERVER, do I?

Otherwise, the browser would just display an error page when trying to access the NSLU with http://<NSLU-IP>/... Apache is a popular web server. On the NSLU, apache is not used for size reasons, it's rather big -- sorry for the wrong info. Instead, the "cherokee" (pun intended!) web server is used. The configuration syntax is nearly identical, though. See http://www.cherokee-project.com/doc/ > 4. What do you mean by "enable an extension"?

It's possible to *use* the NSLU distribution without knowing Linux, but if you want to tweak it, e.g. to do some OWFS magic, you have to know the basics. Otherwise, we'll be spinning around easy stuff explaining Linux basics and get exhausted before we come to the interesting topics. Once you installed Linux, the *very* first lesson is to feed a search engine with the right questions and read the documentation. Kind regards Jan -- Das Schöne an Windows NT ist: Es stürzt nicht einfach ab. Es zeigt einen Dialog an und lässt dich den Absturz mit 'OK' bestätigen.
