Re: [S.u.S.E. Linux] A few Simple questions for a Suse newbie
if you edit your .xinitrc file in your home directory, there should be a line that reads: exec $WINDOWMANAGER if you rem that line (with a # sign) and add your own exec kde you will start kde as your window manager (assuming you have even installed it!!!) kde is a drag and drop window manager. you can put icons on your panel (task bar) and configure everything about the desktop from the system control center. you can also drag icons out of the kde filemanager/browser onto the desktop and copy/link/move the file. a link would be similar to a win95 shortcut. try kde and see what you think. michael zentara wrote:
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?
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.?
3. How do I get those annoying widgets like the "moving eyes" off my desktop.
I know that it's probably is all in the manual, but I figure I could use a 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. I guess I'll appreciate it's power as I learn more later. :-)
