HD Install :: disabling menu, root access, keeping icons
hey! Thanks for the suggesstions. Yes, I am remastering, I'm doing it from a hard drive install and have had all my settings persist upon recompressing and making the iso and all of that, so I'm confident any changes I make concerning the menu will persist. What's weird about the whole menu thing is that I made my own menu file and it had nothing in it concerning links, just the menu opening and closing tags and when I ran it, it still gave me the limited window with a shell and all that. This is what I had:
Code Sample
Debian MENU [begin] (Ponies) Hello There [end] Debian END
all I wanted to pop up was Hello there with Ponies as the menu title, but no dice. I guess I really don't understand how fluxbox works in the matter. That shell script sounds like an awesome idea, but even still I can't get a non-existant menu to show, or even just a blank one with "Hello" in it, so reloading the full menu doesn't really help, although that is quite clever.
I peeked in the keys file and I can't see how I can modify that to override the right mouse click to pop the menu, if that's possible, that would instantly solve my problem. I guess I'll have to poke around some more
You're totally right about kids! lol This remaster I have is in no way kid proof yet, but I hope for the future after I pass off the project that I can make it much more stable for its intended purpose. To begin with it's cute and works enough to impress my professor and classmates LOL!Cattrah, which menu did you edit? Only the one in /etc/skel/.fluxbox matters when your doing a remaster.both, still when I make the menu blank, it renames the title to Ponies but it still gives me xterm, Restart, and Exit as options and that's it. :-P So frustrating. On a side note, do you know what I need to do to get java applets to run? there's a lot of firefox related thingies I can download in mydsl but which one will enable applets? BTW I'm running dsl 0.9.3Your menu file is borked. "Hello There" is not a valid menu line.
