On a normal Linux system, you can have a .xinitrc file in your home directory that tells Linux what window manager to start. ---- # The /home/user/.xinitrc file # This file starts fvwm fvwm2 ---- You might have to include the path to the window manager. If no .xinitrc file is found in the /home/user directory, for example, you get the default, which might be KDE, or Gnome. One trick I use to boot up a bunch of different Window Managers is to create a user account for each one, and put a .xinitrc file in that users directory. For example, I might have the user "fvwmuser" That user likes FVWM. If I have my linux system boot to a text mode rather than "X", then I can login as fvwmuser, give the password, then "startx", and there I am, with FVWM in that user account. Another one I use on a system with KDE and Gnome, is gnomeuser. You get the idea. --- I have not tried doing this on DSL, but I am sure it could be done, if other user accounts are made, then I would have to include that home directory in my filetool.lst on my USB drive, or floppy, so it would get restored.
