As far as I'm aware, that will only work if the x-window-manager alternative group is already defined. The problem I was seeing was that there *was* no such group defined to exist; i.e., such things as the /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager symlink did not exist. I ended up using # update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-window-manager x-window-manager /path/to/my/WM 95 where '95' was chosen because that's the priority of the existing alternative on the system I'm using as the base for comparison. > To only see the available (i.e. installed) x-window-managers: > > $ update-alternatives --list x-window-manager Or, for more information about the link group, '--query'. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
