Hi,
I have some few problems regarding desktop
environment.
Here's my scenario:
I'm using KDE and I never used any other desktop
environment before.
I already know that KDE consists of the following
which I need in accomplishing my daily tasks:
-an internet browser/file manager
-an office suite
-and a Window Manager
Now, what I always wanted to do is to try to use any
other desktop environment which didn't came up in a
package like KDE, meaning, a separate internet
browser, window manager, file manager etc, and learn
how these sorts of stuff work together.
I've already installed FVWM 2.4.18 in my FreeBSD 4.10.
After successful installation and through careful
guessing, when I typed startx, I landed on a pink
desktop with a rectangular bar in the lower right with
a clock at the far right corner of it.
I have browsed the xman and found a very little help.
I have few questions in this list.
How should I install a file manager, or a web browser.
If I will do it in the xterm, where will the newly
installed app, be placed? And where should I begin if
I would want to have a beautiful desktop like what the
screenshots in fvwm.org is displaying?
For ease of instruction, please advice me based on
what desktop components you are using right now(eg;
file manager, web browser..) and I will just make my
own choice regarding those components when I am
already familiar in putting those things up and
running in FVWM.
