I have a HD install of DSL .
So I have read about editing .xinitrc file to customize how elements come up at boot... and my icons no longer come up on boot.I have returned the file to it's orginal state. I have tried to add the 'enhance' command to the xinitrc file but no joy, no icons at boot.
Also, for example, I have tried to get wavemon to come up at boot-up--doesn't work when I add it to the xinitrc file. Also, I click on 'fully enhanced desktop' listing under the fluxbox menu to get those icons up, then my orinonco-clone wifi card dies (hmm, that's a head scratcher for me)...so then I click on netconfig, go to aterm and type 'wavemon' to make sure I'm getting a nearby wireless signal working. And I usally get it back up again. But, hey, what's happening here?
Another one: due to low ram (256k) on my laptop, I am only using the openoffice.uci file rather than the other openoffice dsl files. OOF doesn't come up when I click on 'fully enhanced desktop' with each reboot I have to reclick on the OOF .uci file in the /tmp file, have all the icons diappear, then select 'fully enhanced desktop' then the icons appear. How do I have these .uci icons always come up on boot?
Below, I have included my current .xinitirc file.
...and I have commented out dillo. That's it.
Again, any help is appreciated.
And, anyone, feel free to comment in [[ doulbe brackets ]] or #'s what all this code does, as it would help all us noobs. If there are links somewhere else in this forum that address/answer anything I've asked, please include them. Thanks ahead of time: Marimo
