Step 1:
Visit a site like:
http://dockapps.org/
to learn about your possible dockapps. WindowMaker or "wm" dockapps should work fine with DSL/Fluxbox.
2) Choose Synaptic from the menu. Exit the program after installation is complete.
3) Open an xterminal and type:
sudo beaver /etc/apt/sources.list
Place a "#" at the beginning of the "stable" line
Remove the "#" from the beginning of the "testing"line.
Save and exit beaver
sudo apt-get update
Then start up Synaptic again and look for your desired dockapp in the list of programs. Hopefully, it is there. Select it and install it.
Go back to your xterminal and type:
wmdockapp
where "wmdockapp" is the name of your new dockapp.
See if it works OK. Then press CONTROL-C to exit the dockapp. Then type:
beaver .xinitrc
Add a new line immediately before the "fi" line and type
wmdockapp &
where "wmdockapp" is the name of your new dockapp.
Save and exit.
Exit the window manager from the menu.
When you get back to the command prompt, type:
startx
and your new dockapp should be there.
If you are not running from an hdinstalled system, you will need to use the dsl backup/restore process or your changes will be lost upon reboot.
