Thanks Andrew. Just wanted to know if I was missing something. Will check
out some of the other options on the website.

Assuming you're talking about http://thinstation.sf.net, yes I have, it's
all we use here, although we are small :)

That would be replimenu, the fullscreen blue menu, yeah?

It's a bit of a pain, but the live cd isnt really set up to run multiple
apps. It's mainly for swapping between apps like you've found. You can
actually set up TS with a little desktop and have icons for all the apps, or
have a web browser start and go to WI, or publish pnagent anonymously and
have that load, or or or.. I do like it lots, as you can tell ;)

You're better off sussing out a few options and making your own CD - check
the TS-O-Matics in the menu of the homepage. If you need any help, give me a
shout off list
