i installed teh debian squeeze daily build
i install xorg and iceweasel, and the minimum to be sure that all works
all debian works great

i run iceweasel normally from xterm and jwm

i do interetn, and do the operation labelled cold reset as above

result:
no one can use Internet at home, if i am not there to install galeon. That s
pitty becasue no one can use internet.
My childrens wont/cant be fooling around with complicated things under
linux, such as console things.

Greetings
Y.
