Loading new Windows Manager from mandrake start

Lyuokdea · 04-01-2005, 02:41 PM

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, but I don't see a thread on it anywhere. I just downloaded and installed Xfce to run as a windows manager on my Mandrake 10.2 64 bit Beta installation, but I'm not sure how to make it an option to run when the mandrake screen gives you the options for various windows managers. How do you do this?

Thanks for the help,

Do you want to automatically boot into it or choose it from the login screen?

I'm not sure what things are like with Mandrake 10.2 (if they are any different from 10.1) but there should be an option on the login screen to change the window manager that you boot to? Have you tried looking for it?

If you want to boot automatically into it you need to make the changes in the Mandrake Control Centre (MCC) under Boot --> Autologin (unless they have changed the MCC in 10.2 - I really should get a copy)
