on a totaly different note now.. I am trying to make a command line execution widget for this (if its possible) I wanted to run 2 desktop commands if possible infact.. but I can't figure out how to input the code or if its even possible.. the first was for a command line app live-f1 which logs you into and gives you the stats at http://www.formula1.com/live_timing/ the command for which is just: live-f1 the second is for a customised kernel: sudo gainroot /home/user # /usr/sbin/kernel-load /home/user/MyDocs/kernel.txt
