IceMC is a GUI utility that allows you to customize your IceWM start menu entries easily.

Requirements:

• Have already enabled the Start Menu by following the Enable the Start Menu in Eee PC Easy Mode tutorial.

1. Download the IceMC debian package icemc_0.2.4-3_i386.deb and save it in a convenient location like My Documents.
2. Open the File Manager (which can be found in the Work tab)
3. Browse to the location where you saved icemc_0.2.4-3_i386.deb
4. Right click icemc_0.2.4-3_i386.deb and select “Install DEB File…”
5. You will be asked to enter your administrator password. This will be the password of the account you created when first setting up your Asus EEE PC
6. IceMC will install and then you will be prompted with a package was successfully installed message.
7. Open Terminal from your start menu or by using the keyboard combination Ctrl-Alt-T
8. Copy the default start menu by typing

   cp /etc/X11/icewm/menu /home/user/.icewm/

   If you are asked to replace a file already existing press n for no as you already have this file and you may skip this step.

9. Now we can run IceMC for the first time you will need to use Terminal again and type

   icemc

   in lowercase.

10. IceMC will start and now would be a good time to make a nice start menu shortcut for IceMC (Items shown in red can't be found and are not displayed in the IceWM Menu).

1. Open IceMC
2. Select File from the top left and click Open
3. Browse to /home/user/.icewm/
4. Select the file entitled “menu” and then click Open
5. Navigate to the location where you wish to place the shortcut in your start menu
6. Select the shortcut that is directly above the location where you wish to place your new shortcut
7. Select Edit from top left and click “Insert Application”
8. Name the shortcut IceMC
9. There is no icon for the IceMC program so you may leave this field blank
10. In the Exec box type “icemc” in lowercase without the quotes.
11. Save your changes by selecting File and clicking Save
12. Take a look at your start menu and you should find a nice new shortcut to IceMC

The default EEE Xandros installation comes with some useful applications you should create start menu shortcuts to.
