!) Wow! this is a lot better than LM5 Fluxbox. The last version didn't appeal to me visually.
2) A few ideas could be added from #! CRUNCHBANG Linux for LM6 Fluxbox version - ability to edit and rearrange items in the Fluxbox menu, direct links in the menu that will let you edit config file for Conky , Conky starts by default at startup.
3) It would be nice if Conky could be configured to patch into temperature and fan sensors if installed on a laptop.
4) Installing missing stuff for Internet Time correction does not install.
5) I am really not thrilled by LM default black and super green layout (sorry guys, I want to, but I don't). How about a blubuntu alternative across the board for all LM versions? Something that can be installed as meta package with theme, desktop, splash screen, log in screen, etc.
6) I chose to automatically log in, but this preference didn't survive the install on an IBM ThinkCentre.
Cudos. This version is really hot.
1) Thanks!
2) Mint-FM2 provides a good starting point for the menu. It also automatically adds any new applications to the menu automatically... provided they install a freedesktop.org compliant .desktop file. Otherwise the menu remains completely customizable. Simply edit the files and your changes will be preserved through menu updates...
I personally have Conky auto launching when I log in. But I think a cleaner and uncluttered setup is better as the default. It can be added easily to the Fluxbox startup file.
3) If you machine's sensors are detected by lmsensors it should be easy to add these to Conky. CPU temperature is present in the default setup.
4) I will have to look into that... I don't know why it is doing this...
5) I am not very skilled when it comes to art... and i guess it shows
Blue icon themes, GTK themes and Fluxbox styles are available by default.
6) The installer is set to work with GDM not Slim... so that option wont work.
