- remove those two windows in the bottom, the one on the left with the workspaces, and the other on the right with floppy, CDROM icons and CPU meter.
Edit /home/dsl/.xinitrc, removing the "enhance" lines.
I did it, but my icons are now gone !
Is there a way to keep icons without the workspaces and the other window ?
Thanks Eric
Sorry I found it
I was looking for the "ehance" script (2 hours !) and I finally found the "eNhanced" script... in /usr/bin
grrrrrrrrrrrrrr..............;

My advice (take it or leave it...doesn't really matter):
Forget /usr/bin/enhance, particularly if you are using liveCD or frugal.
Enhance is a shell script, same as .xinitrc. Enhance was created presumably to make x startup simpler, but in my opinion it only complicates things. Anything you want to start with X can be put into /home/dsl/.xinitrc. Having xinitrc start a script which in turn starts a collection of other things is just making things unnecessarily complex. If enhance were to actually simplify things, it should probably be rewritten in such a way that it accepts options. At this time xinitrc starts dillo and enhance, which basically gives you all or nothing unless the user understands a bit about shell scripting and can edit the files.
With enhance checking for command options, the script could be launched from xinitrc with only the progs that the user specifies.
Example:
"enhance icons mount" in .xinitrc could launch enhance only with the icons and mount.app. This would allow for the extra code in enhance to still work, and give the user a little more control without needing to know a lot about shell scripts.
