I Put DSL on a 1250 mb Hd, just added Mozilla. I can run it from emeflm at the install dir but don't know how to add the icon to the desk top.
Mozilla readme says "open the Panel menu, and then open the Add to Panel submenu and choose Launcher." can't find Panel menu for DSL--- HELP!

go to your home directory and look in the folder .xtdesktop (it will be hidden if memory serves). In there you can look at the standard format of desktop icon. There's better ways to do it, but that's how i have. I would be more specific about directories, but my Linux comp. is broken.

Open an xterminal window and type:
beaver /home/.xtdesktop/mozilla.lnk

Then type these lines into beaver:

Code Sample
table Icon
Type: Program
Caption: Mozilla
Command: 'command for mozilla'
Icon: .xtdesktop/ 'nameof gif'
X: 'desired x location'
Y: 'desired y location'
end
(Also, make sure the lines in the .lnk file do not end with whitespace (space or tab) or your icon will not show.)

Save the file and exit beaver.
Then go to the fluxbox start menu and go to
Desktop -> No icons
and then
Desktop -> Icons only
