I have an ancient "Pentium-S" that I have installed DSL on.It works well enough, except I don't have a serial mouse
(right now) and I have been trying to locate configuration
changes that are necessary for Fluxbox/kernel/what-not
in order to "emulate the mouse" but I have not succeeded.
A search for "mouseless" and every other combination
that I can think of (maybe I lack imagination?) has come
up with no results.
Thanks for any help!

If you want a keyboard-driven Fluxbox, you'll need to do a lot of editing to /home/dsl/.fluxbox/keysHere's something to get you started:

Hi Andrew,I think you need a different window manager. Read this.
< http://www-106.ibm.com/develop....nWindow >
The home page is
< http://modeemi.fi/~tuomov/ion/ >
And you are lucky! It is available - the latest ion2 - in the repository to download and use! Welcome to DSL repositories :-)

just a small correction...the version in the repository is not the latest ion2. The latest is 2-20040729, which may end up in the repository soon if I stop complaining about how much I dislike the default settings

In that case ion 3 is in the making The latest is not necessarily the best......
And.......
The default setting can be changed.
