 Icons were taken from different file managers: gentoo, xplore, dfm, nautilus, and
 some of them were modified.

 This software uses the FOX Toolkit Library (http://www.fox-toolkit.org).
 
 *IMPORTANT*
 You must use the new stable Fox version 1.4.10 (required!) or higher in the 1.4.x branch. Xfe neither can be 
 build using the Fox 1.0.x, nor 1.2.x, nor 1.5.x series.

 Install
 ~~~~~~~
  Type :
  ./configure
  make
  make install
  
  or use the RPM package for Redhat and compatibles Linux distributions.

 Configuration
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  Note, you don't have to edit any configuration files by hand, but
  you may want to know, how the FOX registry works.

  Since version 0.82, local registry files for Xfe, Xfv, Xfi, Xfq are located in
  the ~/.foxrc/XFileExplorer directory.

  By default system-wide configuration file Desktop is located in
  /usr/local/lib/foxrc, which is overridden in ~/.foxrc/Desktop and
  the latter is overridden in ~/.foxrc/XFileExplorer/Xfe.

  Every FOX application reads the file Desktop, but Xfe is specific to the
  X File Explorer.

  PNG Icons are in /usr/local/lib/foxicons. You can change the path in 
  Options->Change icon path. 
  (you may want to change it, if Xfe is not installed in /usr/local)


 Build an RPM package
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 You first need the correct fox-1.4.x and fox-devel-1.4.x packages to be installed.
 To create an RPM package from the Xfe sources, simply type :
   rpmbuild -ta xfe-VVV.tar.gz
 where VVV is the Xfe version number (e.g. 0.80).
 
 The created RPM package xfe-VVV-1.i386.rpm is usually located in /usr/src/rpm/RPM/i386, but this
 may vary depending on your distribution and/or your customizations.
 To install the created RPM package xfe-VVV-1.i386.rpm, enter the following command (as root) :
   rpm -Uvh xfe-VVV-1.i386.rpm
 
 
 Build a Debian package
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 You first need the correct libfox1.4 and libfox1.4-dev packages to be installed.
 Extract the sources and enter the source directory :
   tar zxvf xfe-VVV.tar.gz
   cd xfe-VVV
 
 Then, build the Debian package (no need to sign the package, thus the -uc -us options) :
   fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
 
 And finally, install the created package (as root) :
   cd ..
   dpkg -i xfe_VVV-1_i386.deb
