For me, top is adequate - and most of the time icewm's panel-image, from which I can load top, is enough. But for the OP, according to wikipedia and the page you linked to, gkrellm needs gtk+-2 [ so does icewm ] which might be too "heavy" (dunno, I'm trying to guess why somebody would want to use xload). Interesting thread on xload, with some alternatives mentioned, at http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=28483 Gentoo have ebuilds for xload, but of those I've found so far they only have dependencies (xorg-libs in BLFS-terms) without any commands to actually build it - first time I've ever come across an build like that, e.g. http://xemacs.cdpa.nsysu.edu.tw/Gentoo/gentoo-portage/x11-apps/xload/xload-1.1.2.ebuild ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
