I will assume you are in terminal mode.

Type
switchdesk ICEWM
Press Enter
Type
init 5
Press Enter

That should do it.

Linux is case sensitive. I just checked and it is IceWM so switchdesk IceWM should do it.

Oh no.. AOL. That might be a show stopper. I do believe AOL is coming out with a version for Linux though (maybe it's already out since Lindows have been claiming to be an "AOL Computer").

You should be able to connect to any ISP that has standard PPP support.

XxD I just answered your questions in the thread where you originally posted the question. It is in bad form to cross post like this. Try to keep the same thoughts in the same thread as much as possible.
