    i got amsn installed through your instructions, however I cannot launch the program. i can locate the amsn files in “file system” but it will not allow me to execute the program. I cannot browse to “file system” it only allows me to see “my Disk”. I checked the show hidden files and folders, but still nothing.

    thanks for your help!

    go to this website to find out how to change the settings for the desktop http://www.aspireoneuser.com/2008/07/09/aspire-one-advance-linpus-mode-hack/ then after following the instructions right click on the desktop and look through the options you will then find amsn!

    Hello,
    I’m trying to install a DVB-usb stick and I’m told I need to install linux-headers with this command:
    [digo1@localhost ec168]# sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

    I already found out I can’t “apt-get” but I have to “yum” install. But then I get the message: No package linux-headers-2.6.23.9lw available.
    Do I have to search for another filename or program or doesn’t Linpus have “linux-headers”?
    Thanks for your help.

Hey Mel,

First of all, its good that you have figured a way to block torrents using iptables. I am new to networking and would like to do couple of things.

1) Monitor the network activity in the home network

2) Block all the torrents from downloading.

Is there a tool or a way in linux which could give me some solutions to meet the above mentioned cases. I dont want to use any commercial programs as I am more towards OpenSource. It would be greatful if you could offer me some help.

Thanks,

Abhi
