Anything similar to Konqueror (KDE) in Fluxbox?

I really need something like that in Fluxbox. Is there anything similar to this? Mind you I don't need it to have internet capabilites, I just need it to browse through files and directories.

Have you emerged kde? You can use konqueror in fluxbox. You can even configure the menu to start it into filemanager mode. I forgot the exact syntax.

Geart, thanks. I've decided on Konq, beacuse I didn't like Dillo.

I'm really liking this WM...none of the bloat KDE has, it doesn't take up alot of memory, it's generally fast and extremely quick to boot up!

But I've one last quick question, how do you add stuff to the fluxbox menu?

you must edit the ~/fluxbox/menu file manually; it's quite simple

Don't know if you tried it yet, but the rox-filer is pretty good alternative to kde konqueror. Has mime support, shell commands, hotkeys, and a really nice clean interface thats fast.

just emerge rox

[exec] (Konqueror) {konqueror --profile filemanager}

yep it's that easy, but I think I will check out menumaker just to see what it is all about.

If you use menumaker, backup the original because it will overwrite without warning or backing it up for you. It's an auto config. It tries to find the programs for you and lay them out for you. I think if you rely on this, then maybe you should stay with kde. Not a knock. It's just that fluxbox seems to be all about configuring it your way.

fluxbox is king when running fluxspace with rox-filer. fluxspace lets you use the rox-panel and gives your real quick access to all your folders :-D

A++ for that.

rox-filer for the file manager part of konqueror
firefox for the browser
although i must admit konqueror is nice, I use too many of ffox's features not to use ti

I think konqueror owns as web browser, although I have some difficulties to view a few pages with it. I like it especially because of its configurability, I can really choose everything what it should display in the menubars. Btw, I'm using Konqueror in Fluxbox, too

fluxmenu is a much better and easier way to edit the menus.

is there any gentoo guide to use fluxspace together with rox-filer? i would really aprecciate it, but im a bit stupid, reading the fluxspace manual didnt gave me all the info i need to get it working, thanks

You've mentioned you didn't need internet browsing. Then you should really try:

emerge thunar -avt

This fm is default in xfce and really rules: gtk2 integration, really really quick, simple, full-featured, internationalized, and quite few deps. Konqueror rocks but it lacks GNUland's principle of simple tools doing great things together. thunar is the one.
