the icewm-sid version is old (nearly sidux-pontos)- but with rolling release it's not a big problem, update coming soon, I hope. Don't surprised- the wallpaper you will get after hd-disk-installation. The icewm-version comes with a 486-kernel from the debian-sid-repo for AMD-k6 and most VIA-processors. How to install look please here: installation
For both versions I have made a little script for removing of the displaymanager gdm and installing the lightweight display-manager slim (start it with start_slim after HD-installation).
