So using the mini_livecd is the best way to install a lightweight SL with X (IceWM) on a low-end system!

gdmsetup is not on mini_livecd, it needs to be installed. Oh, GDM is not at all on mini_livecd!

Could it be EPEL's icewm-xdgmenu-1.2.35-1.el5.i386.rpm?
Or icewm-gnome-1.2.32-5.el5.i386.rpm?

This is less of a good news for me. That means the mini_livecd_53 is frozen, and no changes can be made :-(

Cheers,
