Just wanted to add that IMO Rox is a really nice file manager and is very well suited to low powered computers. It is faster than any other file manager I know. One nice feature of Rox is its ability to take over the desktop. Many lightweight Window Managers such as pekwm or fluxbox do not support files on the desktop so rox is especially useful with those managers. Documentation on Rox is here http://rox.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/ROX-Filer (plus many other rox projects) derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
