Slackware 9.1 + Fluxbox-0.1.14 + KDE
 

Hi, Im Ive just installed slack + fluxbox for the first time and im pretty lost... ive already installed other linux sys but fist time with slack and flux.. i have several question...
1st: ive recompiled flux with the ./configure --enable-kde and restarted it manytime(flux) but i dont have access to the K menu ...

2nd: i use BASH and in xterm, my prompt is bash-2.05b#. before i startx, its [phoenix@mafiabox:/] and when x is loaded its bash-2.05b# how can i change it?


Well.. thanks for reply.. if any.. :)

Re: Slackware 9.1 + Fluxbox-0.1.14 + KDE
 

1.) For all I know flux' "--enable-kde" relates to KDE applets, not to the
menu.

2.) That's because the xterm started under X is not a login-shell.
You need to edit ~/.bashrc to get a different prompt.
export PS1="[\u@\h:\w]# "
Alternatively, invoke xterm with -ls, which is forcing a login-shell.

Thanks for the reply and answer !

i<ve another newbie question... what is an applet?

thanks :)

Mixer, calendar, clock, locker ... all the things that by
default end up in the KDE-bars right-hand corner ...

ive a last question for today :)
can i make aterm or xterm transparent? if yes... how?

I'll have to leave the answer to the HOW to others
(personally I find it silly ;}) , but yes, you can :)

You could try reading the man-page for aterm
(or eterm, I don't think xterm supports trans-
parency).
