I just installed antiX M7.2 in Virtualbox. Everything went smooth as usual, however the Fluxbox Menu is still the one from the LiveCD. I still have the"Install" menu option. I am trying to edit the Fluxbox menu as it says in the antiX FAQ (
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://antix.mepis.org/index.php/Fluxbox_Tips_and_Tricks_Edit_Fluxbox_Menu"
linktext was:"http://antix.mepis.org/index.php/Fluxbo ... uxbox_Menu"
====================================
) but I do not have that option either. Any solution for this?

The install option can be removed from the menu. I don't think Anti has figured out how to script it out once installed. You could apt-get remove minstall.

To edit the menu open a run dialog from the menu and enter:
Edit away, save and close. Enjoy.

if we have antix installed on a usb stick and the install button it's still there we can install antix on someone computer right?

You can do this as long as the antiX on the usb stick is a 'livecd', not installed as if to a hardrive, ICE-M.

thank you anti i'll wait for the livecd script to be ready, to make a livecd of my install. so i guess we need to let install button in fluxbox.

I've thought about that a bit and have this question: couldn't he dupe the menu, take out the install item, and put it into a different location for installation? Maybe not possible, given that the installer is closed code.

I think it is possible to do. I think it will have to be something like how the slim login dialog box changes once installed.

This is part of the script:

if ["$OS_MODE" ="HDD" ]
then
(lots of options)
if [ -e"$LOC/panel-install.png" ]
then
echo"Updating the log-in panel artwork."
mv $LOC/panel-install.png $LOC/panel.png
fi

So I guess if I add something like
if [ -e"$LOC/menu" ]
then
echo"Updating the fluxbox menu."
mv $LOC/menu-install $LOC/menu

LOC=~/.fluxbox

Does that seem ok?

I'm still very much a noob when it comes to scripting.

(tee-hee) I certainly hope you are not asking ME!! I am below your level when it comes to scripts, so I hope somebody who actually knows something about all this will jump in.

It seems ok to me, as long as you close off your if statement...
Give it a try. (I changed the look of the code a little bit. I think it makes it a bit more readable.)

This didn't work.

The problem is moving the fluxbox menu-install file to /home/USERNAME/.fluxbox.

LOC=/usr/share/fluxbox
if [ -e"$LOC/menu-install" ] ; then
echo"Updating the fluxbox menu."
mv $LOC/menu-install /home/$USER/.fluxbox
fi

Any ideas anyone?
