In make menuconfig: Filesystems ---> [*] Dnotify support Save the new .config and then compile the kernel. rox-filer Compile rox-filer with the following commands: cd ROX-Filer && sed -i 's:g_strdup(getenv("APP_DIR")):"/usr/share/rox":' src/main.c && mkdir build && cd build && ../src/configure LIBS="-lm -ldl" && make Now install it as the root user: mkdir /usr/share/rox && mv ../{Help,images,Messages,Options.xml,ROX,style.css,.DirIcon} /usr/share/rox && mv ../../rox.1 /usr/share/man/man1 && mv ../ROX-Filer /usr/bin/rox && chown -R root:root /usr/{bin,share}/rox && cd /usr/share/rox/ROX/MIME && ln -sv text-x-{diff,patch}.png && ln -sv application-x-font-{afm,type1}.png && ln -sv application-xml{,-dtd}.png && ln -sv application-xml{,-external-parsed-entity}.png && ln -sv application-{,rdf+}xml.png && ln -sv application-x{ml,-xbel}.png && ln -sv application-{x-shell,java}script.png && ln -sv application-x-{bzip,xz}-compressed-tar.png && ln -sv application-x-{bzip,lzma}-compressed-tar.png && ln -sv application-x-{bzip-compressed-tar,lzo}.png && ln -sv application-x-{bzip,xz}.png && ln -sv application-x-{gzip,lzma}.png && ln -sv application-{msword,rtf}.png sed -i 's:g_strdup(getenv("APP_DIR")):"/usr/share/rox":' src/main.c: This command hard codes /usr/share/rox as the directory for rox-filer's private files. Without this sed rox needs the environment variable ${APP_DIR} to be set. ln -sv application-...: These commands duplicate the icons for some common mime types. Without these links rox-filer would just display the default "unknown binary blob" icon. Most of the configuration of rox-filer is achieved by right clicking on a rox-filer window and choosing "Options" from the menu. It stores its settings in ~/.config/rox.sourceforge.net. A rox-filer feature is that if there is an executable file called AppRun in a directory rox-filer will first run AppRun before it opens the folder. If you use a desktop environment like Gnome or KDE you may like to create a rox.desktop file so that rox-filer appears in the panel's menus. As the root user: ln -s ../rox/.DirIcon /usr/share/pixmaps/rox.png && cat > /usr/share/applications/rox.desktop << "HERE_DOC" [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=Application Name=Rox Comment=The Rox File Manager Icon=rox Exec=rox Categories=GTK;Utility;Application;System;Core; StartupNotify=true Terminal=false HERE_DOC Installed Programs Installed Directories rox /usr/share/rox Short Descriptions rox is the rox file manager. rox-filer
