Well, there's Debian packages for those... Anyway, look at /usr/doc/menu and /etc/menu/README. Just put something like this in /etc/menu and run "update-menus". ?package(local.grass):\ needs=text\ section="Apps/Local/GRASS"\ title="GRASS 5.0b8"\ command="/usr/local/bin/grass"\ icon="/usr/local/share/pixmaps/grass_sm.png" You'll have to modify to your needs: Probably want "needs=x11" for any GUI app. It's good to preface it with 'local.'<packagename> so update-menus understands the package isn't part of the Debian system and shouldn't "worry" about it. -- MegaHAL quote: I think a blowpipe is a marijuana cigarrette.
