I'm running 8.5 rc3.

when installing programs, can you install all the same programs from Debian into Fluxbox or IceWM?

I was trying to install miro and banshee and it would let me install either in Fluxbox.

Is there a way?

vinoman,

You can install programs in either IceWM or Fluxbox, in either one you can install using cli or terminal as root by typing

sux
your password
apt-get update
apt-get install (whatever program)

or use synaptic:

In IceWM click on Control Center(icon on toolbar wrench&screwdriver)>System>Manage Packages
enter root password
click on reload
choose your program

in Fluxbox right click on desktop then Applications>System Tools>Synaptic Package Manager
enter root password
click on reload
choose your program

or use aptitude in cli or terminal
sux
your password
aptitude update
aptitude install (whatever program

just remember that you need to always use update in order to have the repositories in sync with the latest packages and this must be done prior to installing any programs.

In IceWM after you dl & install the program then go to Menu>Desktop>IceWM>Update Menu(auto) to place your new programs in the menu.

In Fluxbox right click on desktop then Desktop>Fluxbox Settings>Auto Update Menu __{{emoticon}}__
