Hi, I'm trying to move from Caldera to Suse. All is going fairly well , except for a few things.

1. Where is my .bashrc file ? There isn't one in the root directory? Why does Suse do it different? Do I just create my own?

a .bashrc file should be in your home directory. if it is not there create it.

2. How do I put icons on the desktop? With Caldera's Looking Glass I could just drag and drop my programs as icons on the desktop. I can't seem to find a way to do it in Suse. Do I need a special file manager.?

I do not exactly understand what you mean. maybe your question is somehow linked to the next one, at least to my answer.

3. How do I get those annoying widgets like the "moving eyes" off my desktop.

look into you .fvwm2rc / .fvwm95rc file in your home directory. Search for the term "Swallow" and your editor will position near the relevant line. look for something like "xeyes" and comment / delete the line. Sadly, if you regenerate a .fvwm95rc or similar (from one of the menues) they will reappear, since they appear in the mail basic "one for all" winmanager config file. I made some useless attempts lately to add a feature in there, but i forgot the location of it. I remember a directory with a mass of files that are knitted together when the config is run.

I know that it's probably is all in the manual, but I figure I could use a

i do not remember finding useful hints there. ;-( (german 5.0)

few hints after the torture of learning Yast. I must admit SuSE works better, and is more powerful than Caldera; BUT Caldera's Lisa is way easier to use than Yast.

is there realy something more easy rthan yast???? ;-)

I guess I'll appreciate it's power as I learn more later. :-)

sure. ;-)
