X and Fluxbox :: Install Dock App



How I do to remove a installed Dock App???...so...How I do to install a new Dock App???...Thanks...

DSL is the best OS !!!

depends entirely on the type of package you use.

Most installed dockapps are tiny programs with only a few files at most, which can safely be deleted manually to remove them.  Unless you are extremely sensitive to disk space, though, I really don't see any reason to bother removing the few small apps in DSL.

Easiest way to add would be to install them from deb packages, using apt-get or dpkg.

They are typicially started from /home/dsl/.xinitrc

I know it...but...how I do to install a dockapp with TAR.GZ extension???...step by step...I dont have internet connection in my "old" machine (I have the files in cdrom)...
---sorry about my inglish!!!---

thanks!..."saludos" from Buenos Aires - Argentina

You'll need to have at least gcc/make (gcc1.dsl).
As far as a step-by-step, sorry but that's impossible.  Every source package has different needs...it might be as simple as "configure, make, make install", but it might require more software.  Read the README and INSTALL files included with the package to see what dependencies the application has.  You will probably need to have some headers installed, such as X headers.
Like I said, installing from deb packages is easiest, particularly in a stripped-down distro like DSL.  You can download them with another machine and copy them to dsl. This requires dsl-dpkg.dsl.
Install dpkg with "mydsl-load /path/to/dsl-dpkg.dsl".
Install debs with "sudo dpkg -i /path/to/debfile.deb"

thankU!...
