1. Download the "whitebox.dsl" extension and use it to customize your themes. Just make sure to save them to /home/dsl/.fluxbox/styles instead of the /usr/share/fluxbox/styles because /usr is usually not allowed to write via user account name "dsl".
2. DHCP is managed automatically at boot. You can reconfigure your network card via the "netcardconfig" script. If you want to get "under the hood", please check out the pump command by typing
pump --help | more
from the xterminal window.
3. You can remove applications from the Fluxbox menu by using the whitebox.dsl extension, or you can edit the configuration file directly by typing
beaver /home/dsl/.fluxbox/menu
FYI, in Linux a file or directory is "hidden" from view if the name begins with a period "." character. You can view these files in emelfm by pushing the "H" button at the top of the page.
From the xterminal window, you can view the files by typing
ls -a
instead of the usual
ls
To view them from within a "File Open" dialog box for commonly used GTK applications like Beaver, enter a period "." in the filename box and then push the TAB key on your keyboard and suddenly all of the hidden files/directories will appear.
I can't help you with the rar or wine problems.
Wine in particular is a very touchy program to get working, so you will need lots of patience and help in order to get it to work right. I have never done so, but then again I didn't have a strong incentive to get it up and running OK so I gave up early.
