Damn Small??™s default desktop is pretty simple. The window manager is the powerful, yet efficient,
FluxBox window manager (based on BlackBox). Right-click the desktop to see a menu of features
you can select. Here are a few things you want to do when you first boot up Damn Small:
 Enhance your desktop??”Right-click to see the Damn Small menu, and then select
Desktop???Full Enhanced Desktop. This adds some icons to your desktop to launch
applications, some applets in the lower-right corner to display system information, and
a workspace editor. Select Desktop again if you want to change the styles (colors and
window borders), or Configuration to change desktop behavior.
 Get a network connection??”If you don??™t automatically get on the Internet at boot time,
select System???Net Setup from the Damn Small menu. Then you can choose to configure
your Ethernet card, DSL connection, dial-up modem, or wireless card.
