Thank you for the re ply.
I have been reading and studying Linus beginner by Machtelt Garrels and ignoring every thing else in life.
The reason i did post something on Debian bare bones is because many Linux distr os come across with written words alluding to thousands of free programs or applications.
I personally feel as though it is a total miss conception of reality with copy left being basterized into a free for all by many people just to suck in the ignorant into their commerce traps, while reality calls for a person to get down to the command line and grind some finger skin.
I can understand that there are thousands of free programs in the form of utilities that are used in the command line programming. And that many people have built various GUI apps that are free. And that it all goes back to C and building large from small basic programs that fit together.
But to announce any Linus OS with some grandiose words with Free in every other sentence is annoying.
As well as finding books in any area of computer tech with an author that has his / her feet on the ground.
I spend more time sorting the bs from the facts then i do harvesting the facts into the brain cells.
Thank you for the re ply and the support.
chow for now

install-menu

install-menu(1) 					      Debian GNU/Linux manual						   install-menu(1)

NAME

       install-menu - Process a menu method and generate the menu files for a window manager or a menu-aware application.

DESCRIPTION

       update-menus(1) computes the list of menu entries and passes it in turn to the menu methods in /etc/menu-methods/. The task of a menu meth-
       ods is to generate menus for a specific window manager.	install-menu provides a generic and customizable way to do that. The documentation
       of the install-menu definition language is available in the Debian Menu manual, a local copy being available in /usr/share/doc/menu/html.

SYNOPSIS

       install-menu [-vh] [--remove] <menu-method>

       Read menu entries from stdin in update-menus --stdout format and generate menu files using the specified menu-method.

       Normally used in menu method scripts as #! /usr/bin/install-menu.

OPTIONS

       -h,--help
	      Show the help message and exit.

       --remove
	      Remove the menu files instead of generating them.

       -v,--verbose
	      Output messages about what the program is doing.

COPYING

       install-menu is distributed under the term of the GNU General Public License version 2, or (at your option) any later version.
