Doogee:
ok thanks

Ok, got it working just fine. Here's what I did:

1) Download IceWM from here:
ftp://ftp.rpmfind.net/linux/PLD/current/dists/ra/PLD/i386/PLD/RPMS/icewm-1.2.2-2.i386.rpm

2) Install:
# rpm -Uvh icewm-1.2.2-2.i386.rpm

3) Created an IceWM file for menu:
# cd /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions
# cp GNOME IceWM
Edit the "IceWM" file and change "gnome" to "icewm" at the end of the last line.

4) Edit the "/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession" file
Insert a section right under this section toward the end of the script:


--- Code: ---
--- End code ---

to look like this:


--- Code: ---
--- End code ---

That's it. Have fun!

P.S. I didn't get the files you got, I would remove those RPMs and install the one I linked at the top since I know it works:

# rpm -e icewm-common
# rpm -e icewm-default

then install the new one:

# rpm -Uvh icewm-1.2.2-2.i386.rpm

libdb-3.1.so is needed by icewm-yadda yadda yadda.i386.rpm

Ok, I just realized I installed on my RedHat 7.2 machine which happened to have all the correct libraries installed. However, do not fear, I also just installed it on my RedHat 8.0 system and had the same dependency problem but worked around it. First make sure you have db3 installed by typing:

# rpm -qa | grep db3

Then do this:

# cd /lib
# ln -s libdb-3.3.so libdb-3.1.so

Then when you install the RPM add the "--nodeps" parameter:

rpm -Uvh icewm-1.2.2-2.i386.rpm --nodeps
