i installed the fluxbox 1337 cd and used slapt-get to get ratpoison and it comes without ratmenu.
slapt-get and slapt-src don't have it.
Thanks...

What do you mean it comes without ratmenu? The ratmenu application is already there in the ratpoison package. If you mean you don't actually get a menu, it's because you haven't configured one! If you install the ratpoison edition, a menu is already configured for you, but installing ratpoison on top of another edition won't give you any of the ratpoison edition's default configurations (including the menu). The easiest way to do it now, is to download the user-settings-ratpoison package, look in it and pick everything you want from it. All configuration files are in there.

I've decided to forget about ratmenu, i'm too dumb to figure it out, besides, all i need is slapt-get and slapt-src, my .ratpoisonrc works fine with different bindings

If you install that package, the actual menu files are placed in /etc/skel. It's a dotted directory .ratmenu
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.

.ratmenu is not in /etc/skel.

The package ratpoison was already installed.
@mimosa:
I decided to start from scratch; i removed rp and .ratpoisonrc.
I installed it again with slapt-get, .ratmenu this time was where you said: /etc/skel, copied it to .ratmenu as per your instructions, restarted rp and pressed C-t+r, no menu. Later on, created .ratpoisonrc wrote:
no dice.
then i tried:
nothing.
I checked .ratmenu in my /home and clicked on the scripts (sh) there, all work, changed the keybindings, nothing.
Thank you for your help, eventhough i didn't make it work.
