The problem with the not seeing gifs is probably the CD.  Although APC 
include Linux stuff on their CD they haven't quite worked out that *nix 
file names are case sensitive (unlike wintendos) and a lot of the links
point 
to a file that is actually a different case.   Eg DEFAULT.HTM intead of
default.htm.  I have been meaning to complain about this but haven't got
around
to it yet :-)
