pcmanfm back to Slax
I was sad that pcmanfm is no longer available in Debian (I was wrong) and that I had to replace it with tuxcmd. It was great surprise to find out that this is not the case (Thanks Bernd W!). It seems like when I tried to install it, I had my setup broken somehow, so it was not found at that time and I made an incorrect conclusion that it is no longer available in Bullseye, but it is still there indeed.
I am happy about this because I liked pcmanfm a lot. So I will remove tuxcmd and add pcmanfm back again. I need to say that I like tuxcmd as well, there is nothing wrong with it, it is just a personal preference where I find pcmanfm somewhat more suitable for Slax.

i liked one script from finnix distro maybe with gtkdialog will be possible create replacement for wicd, the name is wifi-connect and its depend on
apt install iw wpasupplicant
the script is here, its realy simple and elegant
github.com/finnix/finnix-live-build/blob/main/files/hooks/wifi-connect
and Tomas very nice will be to have posibility to cheat for syslinux set a password for root and guest, something like root-pass=mypassword

Hey Tomas, just wanted to suggest you something at the live kit issues at ' Suggestions on new S.L.A.X version #190 '
+ Add a wifi manager
+ Maybe you can implement MX's way(fluxbox edition) of adding a sidepanel to fluxbox
+ Replace tuxcmd with pcmanfm and also use it for creating a desktop ( like adding this
( exec fluxbox &
exec pcmanfm --desktop) + a bit of customisation, I did it, and got it pretty easily
to your ~/.fluxbox/ startup , it will make it visually pleasant to see
+ Try adding guest and making it the default user
+ If you don't know if a package is there or no( in debian and debian based distros) use ' apt search pcmanfm' you can replace pcmanfm with the name of the package
Bye!
;)
