That's what you already have done. CHECK -- to check -> "abhaken".

This is a user name. 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.

You need a web server to give your browser data. 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/

A web server extension -- this is a small program part loaded on demand (for 
size reasons). Throw away all the MS windows terms you know when working with 
Linux -- they will lead you into utter confusion.

First, add Linux to your PC and learn some Linux basics. 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
