xterm&
exec tinywm

Make it executable:

Code:

chmod +x ~/.xinitrc

after i make the file executable how do i have to run this file ?through xwmconfig? or is tinywm installation complete?can i just re-login to tinywm?

The tinywm installation is complete if you copied the binary "tinywm" to /usr/bin. If you created a .xinitrc file, you can then simply run "startx" from a console, and it will load tinywm.
