Back to that advise above (March 26):
"ABS will open fine if you change the menu option from "abs" to "abs -geometry 640x480".

Thanks. Which menu please?, how do I find it?, what do I have do to open this file etc?. This newb needs a bit more I am afraid.
I know this ABS size thing is fixed in 0.63 but I have gone back to dsl 0.62 because I just couldn't get synaptic to install on that version, but thats another story.

Del two things, the abs is a change to your fluxbox menu, under /home/ damnsmall/.fluxbox . Edit it and add the " -geometry 640x480 " after abs.
Second if you want newer versions of some apps you will need to check the unstable & testing repositories and add them to your sources.list. Not sure where it's kept cause I'm on another machine atm but I think it's under /etc/apt.
HTH

Thanks Hasty I'll give both of those a go.
