Where are you having trouble, with the icon or the command?
Is the glinks directory in /opt at least staying put now?

An alternative to the symlink is an alias, which works in a frugal/liveCD system as well:

Code Sample

alias glinks='/opt/glinks/bin/glinks'

Put that in /home/dsl/.bash_profile and it should apply the next time you login.

Let me summarize what I do:

1. I pick glinks.uci from the myDSL menu, and download it to /opt
2. glinks now is added to the fluxbox menu, and runs happily.

So, if I have understood you correctly, I'm should now:
1. copy the glinks-directory
2. Unmount the glinks.uci, usin the uci-tool in the fluxbox-menu.
3. Paste the glinks-directory back into /opt
4. Type the following in the terminal window:
sudo ln -s /opt/glinks/bin/glinks /usr/local/bin/[CODE]

So this is what I have done. When I try to start glinks from bash, though, it just says "command unknown".
