KDE is desktop environment, fluxbox is just a window manager. You should be able to put fluxbox in your .xinitrc, then just run startx. A minimal .xinitrc would look something like: --- CUT HERE --- xterm & fluxbox --- CUT HERE --- (Note that you want to run your window manager last and that you want to background everything except for it; X goes away when the last program detaches. So if it's all backgrounded, you'll be dumped back to a prompt almost immediately. If you use a session manager, you'll want that to be the un-backgrounded thing.) -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
