Starting programs in Fluxbox or Windowmaker


I just tried Fluxbox and Windowmaker. I like them but when i go to start some programs they dont exist. like opera does not start when I run and type in opera. What am i doing wrong or do i have to tell them that opera exists somehow? thanks

Depends on whether opera is in your path or
not mate ...
If it's not there's two ways to deal with it...
a) extend your path to include where
opera lives
b) make a symlink from where opera lives
to /usr/local/bin



Cheers,
Tink

Three ways, Tink.

c) type in /complete/path/to/opera

Enjoy!
