ICEWM (ice window manager) install help

jon_k · 07-23-2003, 01:32 AM

I want ICE WM, Mandrake came with it but redhat does not, and I'm on redhat now.

Icewm.org does not contain any step-by-step installation method and I'm becoming confused very fast.

I think I compiled and make installed it but I have no idea on how to make it load at bootup or anything... doubt i even installed it correctly

Like I said... ICEWM.org is very confusing in their instructions... anyone have an easier how-to?

Thanks !

You have to edit your /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file to include:

exec icewm

instead of executing whatever Window Manager it executes now.
