Topic: Adding Gnome-Games to menu
I am going on a flight to New York soon and thought "I need something to keep me busy on the plane. But, no games in #!"
I went into Synaptic and searched for 'gnome-games' and installed with no problems.
Now, you may ask, how to start the games. Well, I did this for about one day by typing in gnect for 'Four In A Row' but couldn't remember some of the weird names.
So, I edited my menu.xml file to help me quickly play my games. If you want games too, follow these directions.
1) Install the games.
in Synaptic search for 'gnome-games' and install, or
in terminator type in 'sudo apt-get install gnome-games'
2) Open your menu.xml file
in Crunchbang menu go to Preferences > Openbox Config > Edit menu.xml
add the code below wherever you want your new 'Games' menu to show up
Enjoy playing games!
Dave.
