Hi Steve, Rainer and all,

There is an alternative for Dmenu:

http://apt-gnuinos.org/pool/main/o/openbox-menu/

Add the following line to your menu config file:

<menu execute="openbox-menu -i lxde-applications.menu" id="apps"
label="Aplications"/>

You also need to install lxmenu-data. The option " -i " removes the
icons (i prefer so).

I just need also to clarify here that the indices of the repository are
broken. I lost all my work of six weeks owing to a power cut. But like
all failures, good things came from it. The solution is to make a backup
of the indices, whenever i add some stuff to the repository.

As Jaromil explained in the OpenNebulaConf: "[...] We only host those
packages non-existent in Debian, but we are working on that [...]".

IMHO, 'reprepro' is a proper tool for that. This is the tool used in
gnuinos. But, as i explained to Daniel Reurich, my scripts are not a
replacement for Amprolla. They depend on the work carried out by Franco
Lanza. But i am straying now...

    Aitor.
