Sorry to have bothered you. Firestarter is not under the add/remove applications function, but it is in the synaptic package manager, which I thought I had already checked. One last question; now that Firestarter is installed does it run at start-up or should I start it after I start-up the computer?

thank you again,
Andy Drenick

thank you for your help. Does Firestarter run at start up or do I need to start it afterwards?

Again thank you,
Andy
