I started making an Icon pack over the last couple of days. I tried installing MADDE wont install, tried with QT creator it installed but doesnt run. So I just started to make the icons and will deal with the packaging later.
I'm looking for a quick way to test them as I make em. What I've done is copied d4rk icons from opt/user/icons to my PC. I pick an icon that I want to work on say sms search that pack for all sizes that exist and proceed to make a new icon, which is working fine for me.
Now as i complete each icon I start a new folder called testicon with their appropriate folders 64x64/hildon etc etc copy the new file then copy testicon to MyDocs then use file box to manually overwrite each individual icon which is becoming bothersome.
I'm looking for a better way to do this.
Im running windows xp and building in PS5. I've attempted to install debian and ubuntu but am having trouble because my second and third disks are partially set up in a raid configuration the remaining portions of one of those disks is where I would like to set up linux but I am having trouble specifying those areas with out completely reformatting and losing my raid partition.

Ive read this but it seems like more work than copy/pasta from file box. I'm hoping that it will build index.theme though and that is not a file I have to create.
Any suggestions would be appreciated even if some one could point me to a tutorial on how to get linux on my partition would be a start.
btw I am drawing each icon from scratch and not using someone else's work. I chose to overwrite d4rk because it is easy to re-download the original, cant find hicolor and when I copy it from opt/usr/icons i get alot of cant copy simlink. Plus that is the pack I like to use as well.
