Anyone know of a window manager that is similar to Windowmaker that is easy to install that dosnt need to add other files to get it to run/compile?
I tried to install windowmaker and it was a nightmare, got dependency errors then got the files it said it needed, got errors compiling those then got the files those needed and got errors installing those so finally i gave up.
Are you looking something like WindowMaker in which matter? Lightweight/Ease of use desktop ? If so, I would recommend Blackbox/Fluxbox if you've not already tried . I can see you are using RedHat 9.0. If so, I hope you have apt-get/synaptic installed on it, otherwise you are losing the best thing I've found for this distro .
If you do, have it, type:
apt-get install blackbox
then
apt-get install bbkeys
If you don't have/know about apt-get/synaptic then visit:
