I don't think it's on the redhat distribution, but you should be able # to find it for Mandrake, and I think that will go on without problems, or you # can rool your own from www.icewm.org. # # It's fast, light, and - important on a lib - doesn't use much screen real # estate or require you to have a three-button mouse. I agree, icewm is nice, but last I knew, it started getting bloated by adding in all kinds of GNOME support crap.. not my style, I say; though, hopefully, if you're in the mood for a little bit of tinkering, you could probably compile icewm without the GNOME stuff.. Personally, I use fvwm2 with a heavily customized config; and I used to use blackbox with a not-so-heavily customized config.. its all based on your preference, the fvwm2rc that I use was derived from the ground-up and seems to be pretty fast, while still being user-friendly enough for my mother to use it (!).. I can make the .fvwm2rc/menu files available if anyone has any interest. - Jonathan Towne PS: happy hacking ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ - Archives -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
