Hi I have installed Knopix to my hard disk (Knoppix-Myth). Basically it's knoppix but with MythTV already installed.
Anyway I installed KDE and a few other things and so far everything looks good.
The problem is that the version of Knoppix I have isn't properly updating my menus in KDE for applications I install. Does anybody know of a working script anywhere that will automatically update my menus after every boot? It seems like it should be a simple thing to do. I mean all it needs to do is to use whatever the file it is that tells apt-get what files are installed and under what catagories and update the existing menu catagories accordingly. How hard can it be?

Edit: I found a file called update-menus-kde.tar.gz here (http://debian.tu-bs.de/knoppix/CeBit/) - but it was for KDE 3.2. Anyway it didn't seem to work too well as it quit with a bunch of errors. The ouput of running the script is as follows:
root@box1:/home/raid517/update-menus-kde/update-menus-kde# ./update-menus-knoppix
./update-menus-knoppix: line 18: update-menus: command not found

Is there any way to fix this? Like I said it would be very nice to have a script that would automatically update my menus after every reboot. But I have no clue how to achieve this.
