note : my xinitrc is -> to xinitrc.kde (kde is my default as of now)

here is the content of  /usr/local/bin

1. i did not create yet the ./fluxbox dir
2. i want to have the WM option whether kde or fluxbox is to be used

i need your help guys

[kern]

this is the nonexistant $HOME/.xinitrc problem again right?

echo "exec fluxbox" > ~/.xinitrc

[icedtea]

the command suggested above will produce the "exec fluxbox" to a created ./xinitrc in my home right?

[kern]

well, nearly,

it'll produce a dotfile called ~/.xinitrc

[icedtea]

so after doing that, what should i expect?

1. will it enable me to choose between KDE and flux in the login prompt?

[Javasnob]

It won't let you choose; it'll just run fluxbox whenever you run 'startx.'

[icedtea]

yes, but i would like to have the WM menu option whether to play KDE or fluxbox.. i know its possible.. but i dont know how to do it. .

[oz]

Is this what you are wanting to do?

[kern]

are you talking about INIT4 KDM/XDM Login?

if so, change the 3 to a 4 in /etc/inittab, the initdefault line

[icedtea]

hmm nope.. ok; my initdefault is 4 - GUI of kde.. what i want is after installing fluxbox, of course i want to still use kde.. so i need a menu wherein before i login i can choose whether kde or fluxbox is to be used. .
