Firewall checkbox in QuickSetup

QuickSetup is a GUI that pops up at first bootup, with a collection of things that you might want to configure.
There is a checkbox for the firewall. Tick it if you want a firewall.
I had pre-ticked it, even though there is no firewall running. My reasoning was that is what a user would want. However, gcmartin (Puppy forum) saw it differently -- that the ticked box meant the firewall is running.
Hmm, I see the potential misunderstanding. Well, I have changed it to not-ticked.
