Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Hi, Im using Slackware 10.0 on an old laptop. Here is my question:
How do I edit all my menues and submenues in Window Maker? I have not chosen to install a lot of things but there is still links to programs that I hav not installed.
I personally don't use windowmaker, so can't
tell you how to change your menu.
But I can give you a generic idea of how you
could be able to find out how to find the info
you require (which is quite simple since you're
using slackware, too) ...
The first step would be to look at
less /var/log/packages/<windowmaker-package-version-mumble>
From that you can see:
a) where its documentation lives
and
b) where/what potential candidates for
configuration files are ...
There is an excellent and easy to use menu editor in WindowMaker. I'm in kde at he moment so forgive my fogginess. Double click one of the 3 icons at the top right part of the screen and that will start the WM configuration utility. One of the modules involves the menu. It's just a matter of dragging a menu item-type to the menu, renaming it, and entering the command to start the program. Very simple - even easier than fluxbox.
hint: start kmenuedit from an xterm so you can easily see how to start some of the progs you may want.
