"Restart" in the JWM stands for "refresh". It refreshes the JWM menu
settings.
Very useful when we make new settings.
But when JWM itself is modified we have to "exit"  and do "startx" again.

I created or moved items and sub items like:

Internet:
        Connect (ppp-on)
        Disconnect (ppp-off)
Games
        xFreecell
        xDigger
        LinCity
Utilities
        Clock
        Calculator

And added a final item called "Exit Basic Linux" which is presently "halt"
but I think "shutdown -h now" would be the right thing.

And I changed JWM menu colors  and placed a picture as a wallpaper.
Large images use to slow down the startup proccess, so one has to be careful
and use simpler pictures.

I also replaced the most of links in hotlinks.html.
Now that page links to both Basic Linux sites and a lot of Brazilian ones. I
translated all the titles (captions) to Portuguese. All this stuff is quite
easy to be done.

And I created a few aliases to mount/read/umount  floppy and CDrom.

Cheers,
Teixeira
