"That package" refers to user-settings-ratpoison not ratpoison.

So you just need to do (as your normal user)

Code: Select all

$cp -r /etc/skel/.ratmenu ~/.ratmenu
then possibly restart ratpoison and C-t r should work and give you the standard menus.[/b]
Now don't forget the second part of the instructions.

no dice.
There is no menu "included" with ratmenu. You have to create one and point ratmenu to it yourself.

Code: Select all

bind r exec ~/.ratmenu/main.sh
that will work, provided you have copied the files over. Still, that will give you the default ratpoison menu for the ratpoison edition. Application selection and everything. So, stuff that are in the menu will not be in your system and stuff that are in your system will not be in the menu. You'll have to take care of that yourself by editing the files in ~/.ratmenu.
