Hello gatherer!

I guess that the ones that made the extensions didn't bother to make icons. It's kind of optional.

Have fun,

Well if I install amsn or xine using the mydsl process that downloads it from the site and installs the application then the Icons are there. if I make a remaster using your steps the icons are not there. I'm confused as to what is not being placed in the proper directory or if there is a config file I have to modify or something like that

gatherer -

Knoppix does not have anything in /home as a default. As users are created, the /home directories are created by copying all the files from /etc/skel. So, the DSL CD boots and at one point the user dsl is created and the contents of /etc/skel are copied to /home/dsl.

So if you are remastering, any files you would like in /home/dsl should be put in /etc/skel. Icons would be placed in /etc/skel/.xtdesktop

Hope that helps

Chris

that might help. I'll give it a try.

can I just copy all files in my home/dsl directory into the /etc/skel directory?

Hello gatherer!

Yes you can copy all you want to have in home/dsl to etc/skel. If you check the remaster HOWTO the backgrounds are copied to etc/skel/.fluxbox and in the remaster they appear in home/dsl/.fluxbox. Sorry that my guess was wrong about the icons. I never use icons myself. I prefer a clean desktop.

Have fun remastering,
meo
