hi listmem
thanks rajesh
i finally got icewm up and running with ur valuable help and script
thanks for offering ur designed themes with wallpapers but
i won't be using them as i have 16 MB ram
which was one of the main reason that i had to have a small footprint WM
there is a problem
if i select a theme then on the next instance of startx the default comes
up
also the icons of some apps are not showing
cud u hlp me with the following
this pc is a home pc with winmodem so net, mail etc are useless (i have to
use 9x)
so what services, daemons do i disable and how so as to free some mem.
cud u guide as to info on the different daemons and services (what they
exactly do and are) even if a info sheet is lying around somewhere it would
be informative and helpfull
by any chance have u installed zzplayer
if how do i install it an link it to icewm
thanks
