i'm creating a linux distro that runs completely within the compact flash
there is no cd, no hard disk

i am taking a working slackware system ( 8GB ) and squeezing it into
1GB compact flash

their distro works fine with the fvwm menu icons
however, i'm forgetting something in my CF version

the fvwm-root commands was my test, to see that the mini-mail.xpm
files are visible in X11 ... even if it was not in the fvwm menu

that is what i was looking for, however, there is no such file in
slackware-10.1
the fvwm files i know about are:
/usr/X11R6/libexec/fvwm/2.4.16/FVWM* ( 36 fvwm commands )
/usr/X11R6/share/fvwm/Config*
/usr/X11R6/share/fvwm/FvwmForm*
/usr/X11R6/share/fvwm/FvwmScript*
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.fvwm2 ( or xinitrc.fvwm95 )

i do NOT want the fvwm/doc and fvwm/html and man pages etc..etc..
i am not copying from source, but just recreating the fvwm binaries
that already exists in slackware-10.1

the unmodified sample config file that system should be using is
139587 Jan 31 2005 /usr/X11R6/share/fvwm/system.fvwm2rc-sample-95
and i do NOT have any ~/.fvwm*

this variable is NOT defined ( commented out ) in the above system.fvwrmrc
file
- i'll start to play with that variable and see what happens

that ImagePath is not defined in the above config file
