Re: [newbie] KDE and Other WinManagers
I got windowmaker to run by running a command called wmaker.inst then startx. Then I can switch back to kde by startx kde In window maker you can switch to Afterstep so I haven't tried to modify the startx to get into afterstep. after loging in as the user you want to use kde, at the prompt type "usekde", that should do it for you.

I followed PJ's detailed instructions in a followup, and it doesn't seem to work this way. "startx kde" does not start KDE, it starts AfterStep, just as does "startx" alone. Fortunately, the WindowsMaker installation seems to be user specific (do you have to install all the files in every user's home directory?), so I can log in as another user and "startx" will start KDE. Unfortunately, now the root user is forced to use AfterStep. What I would really like to be able to do is switch between KDE and AnotherLevel, since that is the default for RedHat and there is so much documentation out there for RedHat. For example, some books (e.g., Bill Ball's "Using Linux") tell you how to start with AnotherLever and modify .xinitrc to run other windows managers and desktops. Starting from KDE, I am unable to experiment this way. On the other hand, I really do like having KDE available, which is why I installed Mandrake! TIA. Keith Russell [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, okay, I thought about this a little bit and renamed the .xinitrc file in /root to .xminitrc.AfterStep. Now "startx" runs KDE just fine as root. So now I can switch between KDE and AfterStep. How can I add AnotherLevel (and others) to the equation? Keith Russell [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [newbie] KDE and Other WinManagers
Hi there, Can you let me have a thorough step-by-step instruction of what you've done. I've tried with the best of my knowledge, and all I've been able to do was to fail. Please give me a hand. Thanks in advance. Bernardo PJ Biztech [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/26/99 07:38PM I got windowmaker to run by running a command called wmaker.inst then startx.

If yes which ones and how do I make it possible. I have tried to have a .xinitrc file in my home directory ( for AfterStep), but when I startx all it does is to raplace mine with the default. What have I done wrong? I've tried the same with Enlightenment and no success. What am I supposed to do? Thanks in advance. Bernardo
