Once upon a time, there was a script that would install Rox Filer from the Internet even if the user was running from the LiveCD.
That script is located here:
http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....;hl=rox
It works fine with DSL versions 0.5.x, but it has not been tested on a DSL 0.6.x system yet.
You might want to try it and see if it still works. I would suggest installing from LiveCD first so you won't hose a hard disk installation if it is screwed up.
Good Luck.
PS: I think that Rox is a very nice and fast GTK+ program that does the following functions:
Filemanager (Emelfm)
Thumbnail viewer (xzgv)
Desktop Icon system (xtdesktop)
Plus, it has an extremely powerful file "Search" function that works kinda like a SQL database engine.
However, Emelfm grows on you and now I prefer it to Rox Filer when I am browsing directories of files.
xzgv is also a full size image viewer, so it can do something that Rox can not.
xtdesktop is on a par with the Rox Filer "pinboard" mode, but xtdesktop double-click is more intuitive for ex-Windows users and the *.lnk files are very easy to auto-generate. However, Rox has a really cool drag-and-drop feature where you can create a new desktop icon by grabbing a file from the file manager window and dragging it on to the desktop.
All are great programs, but they won't all fit on a 50MB size Business Card format CD-R disk.
