AFAIK, debian treat them the same. Slink and potato use the /etc/X11/window-mangers file to determine the default window manager (first one is the default). Some weeks ago Potato switched from the the window-managers file to the alternatives mechanism. Now Potato in x-window-manager is a link to the default window manager. > 2)Actually change config files so that you don't revert to > your previous WM/environment on your next boot. Slink: update /etc/X11/window-mangers Potato change x-window-mangers link via 'ln' or update-alternatives the user can change the system default in the file ~/.wmrc Achim > -- > Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Manager, Dueling Modems Computer Forum > <http://dm.net> > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null > -- To me vi is Zen.
