I GOT XFREE86 INSTALLED, NOW ...

Name: Anonymous 2006-12-15 1:18

been using debian linux, i got xfree86 installed and working, and installed icewm for a window manager.

allright, now i need a file manager i think.  but the thing is, i can't drag anything to my desktop, because one doesn't exist.    i would like to use the background to organize files, etc. like i can on windows.

that's basically all i want, just whatever program that lets me keep files on the actual physical root window as a desktop + drag and drop functionality.  i don't need start menus, wizards, control panels, etc.  do i have to install a full blown environment like gnome or kde to get this, or is there some small program that can do that.

i haven't really messed with file managers like xfe or whatever yet.  i need suggestions.

Sarge was released in 2002 (or 2003)

icewm is a WINDOW MANAGER, not a DESKTOP.
If you want a desktop, install Gnome or KDE
