Hi folks!

How can I configure DSL to enhance fluxbox directly after startup (Given a DSL install on a USB memory stick)? I guess the enhance command launches a script which brings up the icons, but the icons aren't mentioned in the fluxbox docu, so I'm not so sure if this is even part of fluxbox...

Please point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate any hint

[Edit]
I know about the possibility to boot DSL with "knoppix enhance", but I'd like to have it completely automatically because the memory stick will be in use by another person...

P.S. Sorry for my poor english ;)

you have to customize your .xinitrc.After reading your posting i tried this .xinitrc
(nano .xinitrc) gives me
#Be sure bla bla
enhance &>/dev/null &
fluxbox

Then store your new .xinitrc done

Hi Angela,

in .xinitrc I changed

grep enhance /proc/cmdline >/dev/null
if [ $? == 0 ]; then
enhance &>/dev/null &
fi

to

grep plain /proc/cmdline >/dev/null
if [ $? == 1 ]; then
enhance &>/dev/null &
fi

Now I always get "enhance", EXCEPT if I type "knoppix plain". Plain gives me fluxbox without enhance.

Good luck!

where abouts does the .xinitrc live ?

It lives in your home directory. If you don't have it, then you must have  an old version. It has been available for awhile.
