Hey Mike, After I do: $ cd /usr/local/bin $ cat > moblin-web-browser << EOF #!/bin/sh firefox $* EOF
it tells me: bash: moblin-web-browser: Permission denied So I used "su" to login as a root and did everything. Now, however, when I type a link in the internet section and hit enter it minimizes the whole section (i think it is calling firefox) but nothing starts. I checked if I write firefox in terminal and it started okay, so I think that $* is a wrong parameter. What else could it be? Thanks again for all the help!
