Where can I edit the menu from fluxbox ?

I searched the net for it but it won't work if I do what they say, maybe somebody knows it here.

HI!
It's easy but maybe not where you'd expect it.

first get root with sudo su

cd /etc/x11/fluxbox
nedit fluxbox-menu

You may want to make a backup-copy first ;-)
Its very easy to edit the menu-file and it's fun.
I made a DSL-mp3-Player for my roommates and the less options those windows-murons get the better ;-))

Hope it helps,
Enthusi

Hi,

If I open the file fluxbox-menu in /etc/x11/fluxbox I will have an empty file, there is nothing in it and it is 0 bytes :S

which DSL-version do you use?
in my 0.5.1 it is there ;-)
there are simillar files in /home/damnsmall/.fluxbox

it might be a hidden dir, so go there with emelfm and activate hiddenmodus by clicking the H or typing ctrl+h

I dont know who starts your fluxbox; damnsmall or root
so the fluxbox-menu in /root/.fluxbox might be the actual one, too
