Asus eee PC (LInux) | Add a "START" Menu..

Missing the familiar Windows "START" menu?
Easily resolved.

Fire-up a terminal window.
Work>File Manager>Tools>Terminal

You should now see:

/home/user>

Do This:

/home/user> sudo bash [enter]

(This opens a command line shell with rights to do ANYTHING. Be careful!)

Now do this:

/home/user>mkdir /home/user/.icewm [enter]

/home/user>cp /etc/X11/icewm/preferences /home/user/.icewm [enter]

You have just created a directory in your user area, and copied the default preferences file into it.

Now do This:

/home/user>nano /home/user/.icewm/preferences [enter]

(This loads the preferences file into the "nano" text editor..)

Find the line with "TaskBarShowStartMenu", and changes the value to 1.

(Use F6 to call the find function)

Hit Control-X and overwrite the existing preferences file. 

Now type "exit" [enter]  twice, and reboot the machine.

You should now have a START menu.

Excellent.
