blackbox install question
I installed blackbox, the desktop environment.. trying to speed things up. Now how do I change to blackbox from kde? I'm using Grub as my bootloader.

You want to load BB? so create .xinitrc file in your home directory, and put one line there:
exec blackbox You might give a try for Fluxbox, I use it for about 4 months, and it is super..... |
cool, thanks :)
|
I wasn't able to create a .xinitrc file. Is it a text file, or what? What file am I supposed to add the line to, cause when I create .xinitrc as a text file it doesn't appear, but when I try to create another one it asks me if I want to overwrite it..
:newbie: thankse |
if you are running a graphical log in then it should be listed in the options for which window manager you want to use. the file that guy is talking about it /home/username/.xinitrc and it's just a plain text file, and you'd put the line "exec blackbox" in it.

k, I got it up and running. How do I get to a terminal and file manager?

Firstly, press right mouse button, and you will some things like terminal there.
Select konsole , and "pico /home/username/.fluxbox/menu" Edit it, putting there needed programs. Mine first section look like this: [begin] (Slackware Linux) [exec] (Konsole) {xterm -title xTerminal -hc black -sl 200 -bc -bcn 250 -bg black -fg green -vb -geometry 90x40 -fn -cronyx-fixed-medium-*-normal-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-koi8-r} [exec] (D4x) {nt &} [exec] (Krusader) {krusader &} [exec] (AxyFtp) {axyftp &} [exec] (Sylpheed) {sylpheed &} [exec] (Easytag) {easytag &} [exec] (Xmms) {xmms &} [exec] (Opera) {opera &} [exec] (Konqueror) {konqueror} [exec] (Gqview) {gqview} [exec] (Gedit) {gedit} [exec] (Anjuta) {anjuta &} [exec] (Grip) {grip &} [exec] (Gtk-Gnutella) {gtk-gnutella &} [exec] (Mozilla) {/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla &} ......... man blackbox. Check out FAQ....... It shouldn't be difficult |
the dot in front of a file name makes it a hidden file. do ls -a and you will see it
