Help

Here you can find interesting information about Configurable Menu.

Shell Installer

Configurable Menu is a applet of the shell. Like the desktop can be installed on different Linux distributions and therefore managing the packages that Configurable Menu makes, needs the help of the Shell Installer tool.

The main objective of the Shell Installer is that it may be implemented in most of the distributions. However this is far from happening for now. Any help will be well received.

You can found more information about Shell Installer on the Shell Installer website.
