....things looking brighter..!!! After typing in : dpkg -i MyDocs/.documents/prismicwm_1.4.4_armel.deb
it worked - almost...!!! its now installed as i can see it in the main menu..!!!!
However - when i try to open it - it just goes back to the xterminal...?!?
I got this message: prismicwm depends on gnome-python;however Package gnome-python is not installed.
prismicwm depends on python-xml;however:Package python-xml is not installed
...any suggestions..?!? We must be really close to getting this to work...!!!
