Need some help finding some files that I want to mod... Can you help


Hello, I am modding PCLinuxOS and there are a few bits where I could do with a hand.

1) Does anybody know where the files are kept that are used to launch the "PCLinuxOS Menu Editor", this would also be the same as where the files for the "Mandrake (or Mandriva) Menu Editor" would be kept.

2) Probably an easy one to answer (but I just cant find it anywhere) where is the little icon from the top right of Konqueror kept.

3) Also looking for the files associated with the "PCLinuxOS Info Tool" also prob the same as "Mandrake (or Mandriva) Info Tool".

If you can answer any of the questions above... Thanks

Jym

Hi, Youŕe making Good progress.

With the Icon thing....

Right click the icon or toolbar and select configure Toolbar

Look in Current actions for MAIN TOOLBAR

Scroll down to Änimated Logo

Then click change Icon

That will take you to where the Konq icon is stored.

Cheers, and Happy New Year

Hi sorry, that was a little inconciderate of me.

to edit the Mandrake Control Center to your linux Control Center

open /usr/sbin/drakconf.real & /usr/lib/menu/DrakConf
with your text editor and find all bits that refer to mandrake or mandriva and change them to your own linux name

to edit the Mandrake Info Tool

open /usr/bin/cfg2html with your text editor and there is one bit near the top in a block of writing that referes to mandrake or mandriva just change that to your distro name.

to edit the menu editor

open /usr/share/menudrake/menudrake.glade with your text editor and change any bits that refer to Mandrake or Mandriva again to your own distro name.

Change the "Welcome to Mandrake Linux" message on boot

open /etc/mandrake-release with your text editor and just change the name of the distro from mandrake to your distor name.

There are also 2 other files that need editing for this but kde crashes if you try and open them where they are so

copy /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit & /etc/rc.d/rc.local to somewhere where you can easily work on them now open both files and change any bits that refer to mandrake or mandriva to your distro name and when finnished coppy them back to there original place.

After you have done this restart your pc and press esc for verbose mode and you shold see the message

Welcome to your distro name 2007

I hope this info is usefull to somebody

Cheers
Jym

Hey, Thanks for the modding tips.

Some times I think it would be nice to not see Mandriva all over everything.

Good luck with your distro.

Cheers.

also I don't know if mandrake have killed the dragon on the end session screen as I am using PCLinuxOS which has there logo all around the dragon, but if you just want to change this image it is at:

/usr/share/apps/kdm/pics/shutdown.png

I cant remember where the picture is that is displayed when you click shut down at the kde login screen... but i was looking at it the other day so I will find it again soon
