change a couple of default x programs
 
simply put, I would like to use xdm as my graphical login manager instead of gdm, and fluxbox instead of gnome. I do not know how to do this, and there is no clear explanation on google and it is hard to figure out which things to change in /etc/X11/. Any help would really be appreciated.

In a terminal, type
Code:
sudo cp /etc/X11/default-display-manager /etc/X11/default-display-manager_backup
sudo nano /etc/X11/default-display-manager
and change it to the correct path the xdm (I don't know what that is). I know KDM is /usr/bin/kdm and GDM is /usr/sbin/gdm.

Save (Control-X), confirm (Y), and exit (Enter).
