Replacing flwm with icewm

(1/2) > >>

Hi All,

           Has anyone replaced flwm with icewm? (or point me in the direction of how to do this in tinycore)

            And can flwm then be removed?
         

(My tinycore resides on a 30Mb sd card and runs on an Asus T91. Have got wifi working and dillo works well as a browser.)

Kindest regards
James

You would have to remaster tinycore.gz to remove flwm.
My estimation would be that you gain ~50KB by that.

icewm incl. dependencies takes up 4.29MB of space, so you should think well, if that is desirable on a 30MB card.

gerald_clark:
Use microcore instead of tinycore.
copy Xlibs.gz, Xprogs.gz and Xvesa.gz into your persistent tce directory.
Then install icewm to start onboot.

Thanks for the replys.

Some sizes of wm's without resp. with dependencies are listed in following post resp. next after it:

If flwm is too minimal for you, you might still find a wm being smaller than icewm, as you seem to be very restricted with storage space.

Unfortunately you do not mention how much RAM you dispose of, perhaps it would be more wise to run in default (internet/cloud) mode and then the size of icewm might not be an issue.
