    Hidden gems in 6.7.1

    .
    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.
