Some confused question about running codeml of PAML

Hello, everyone, I'm trying to understand how to run codeml to detect positive selection gene and sites with certain lineages. But still two question make me much confused: Question One: how can I obtain initial kappa value and initial omega value? Running M0 model(model=0,Nsites=0) firstly for obtaining these value and then running model what I need? and how about setting up of fix_kappa and fix_omega? Question Two: As Yang's paper said(About PAML published on 2007), PAML can detect relationship between gene duplication and selective pressure by branch and branch-site model. However, some duplicated genes will not located within branches which their paralog
located in because there has already sequence diversification in duplicated genes, so how can I set foreground branch if I wanna detect selective pressure of genes in the duplicated gene families? Thanks for your kindly help!
