KDE Menu (not working copying things to /etc/skel)
I had finished customising my Knoppix distro (actually I was using Kurumin, a brazilian customisided Knoppix) however I have a problem. When I try to use my version everything works out fine the only problem is that my KDE menu seems to be identical to what it was before customising.
I've already tried to edit the kde menu using menuconfig and then copy the ~/.kde to /etc/skel and it still doesn't seem to work. I've already removed the configs.tbz and knoppix.sh that was said to me that "force" kde configurations and it still didn't work. Not even creating a configuration floppy and using it to boot worked out for me.
The strange thing is that when I boot using my versions cd and run the menu editor the programs are appering in the menu editor (and they are set to be shown in the menu) however do not appear in the KDE menu. I've already redid the all the customising/remastering steps and still couldn't get the menu to show what I want.
Please help.
Thanks,
c0in.
P.S.: I've tried to use search through the forum for posts that would answer my question but couldn't get one in where copying ~/.kde to /etc/skel didn't work.

When I customize my menu all I do is add or remove .desktop files from my /usr/share/applnk/ directory. I would check in there to see if any of the phantom programs have a .desktop file in there.
I had to do this instead of using menuconfig because I wanted to be able to script the removal of KOffice (which leaves behind its menu entries after doing an apt-get remove). I would assume this same stratagy will work with Kurumin.
Hope this helps,
Adam

I'm trying to remaster of Kurumin too...
It is really nice to see such a small remaster, as I never got around to making my own "cut-back"-version of Knoppix work.
(Kix project is promising to make a pureKnoppix, but the project isn't really up-to-date and seems to have reached a stand-still)
Kurumin also has an "extra"-skel directory it links to, might wanna check that out...
However, I tried remastering that too and it still gave me the portugese names, so now I'm gonna try the /usr/share/applink method...

I have still the same problem, and i can't find any solution. My remaster is a original knoppix 3.2 version.
I don't know how to go on!
The modified menu is copied well in the ramdisk directory during bootup, but the menu it shows on desktop is still the old one.
Someone knows where the desktop menu is taken from?
Thank you for your help!

I am having this exact same problem. In earlier builds of my remaster, I was able to edit the kmenu and copy it back to /etc/skel and it worked fine. but now it no longer works, and my customized fluxmenu and icewm menus are not working either (though at least they auto-update and cacth the new software I've installed).
I look at the ~/.kde/applnk files (which are the user's kmenu) and they are fine. I run kmenuedit and it shows me my personalized kmenu. And yet the actual kmenu is still the oild one, and changes I make with kmenuedit while running from the cd do nothing.
there is also- /usr/share/applnk (which I overwrote with my own kmenu files), and the 45xsession script looks for /usr/share/knoppix/profile/.kde/applnk (which I created as it did not exist)
Still getting the old kmenu....
