Need the cmd to choose the default GUI. And can I transport Slack10 flux to Mdk9?


Need the cmd to choose the default GUI. And can I transport Slack10 flux to Mdk9?
1)I installed Mdk9.2 with only WM and blackbox. But WM is somehow set as default (I want blackbox). I didn't install kdm or gdm, so I need either the cmd, or the advise where this thing is stored.
2)I want blackbox, but want fluxbox more... so can I transport?..
Thanks.

So you use 'startx' to start the windowmanager right?
Log in as usual (in console mode) and type 'echo blackbox > .xinitrc' (this needs to be done only the first time).
Run 'startx' and behold the excitement of starting blackbox (oh well...)

You probably could copy the slack files if you knew exactly which files to put where.
But it's probably easier to get the source and compile it yourself.
