There are some hidden gems in Knoppix that I like to
use occasionally. They are not on the LXDE menu now,
but you can easily remedy that with the two small
progams to follow.

Prepare two files with leafpad as root, place these
in /usr/share/applications and do a Control-Alt-Backspace
to activate them. I cheated by copying and editing htop.desktop.

#mc.desktop
# Provides a menu entry at Menu>System Tools

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=MidnightCommander
Type=Application
Comment=File Utility
Terminal=true
Exec=mc
Icon=mc
Categories=ConsoleOnly;System;
GenericName=Process Viewer

#alsamixer.desktop
# Provides a menu entry at Menu>System Tools

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=AlsaMixer
Type=Application
Comment=Audio controls
Terminal=true
Exec=alsamixer
Icon=alsamixer
Categories=ConsoleOnly;System;
GenericName=Process Viewer

I guess I shouldn't call them programs,
they're just text files.

ps.

I did not include comment lines, those beginning with #, in my own efforts.
I'm not sure they will be ignored.
