Xpde under knoppix HOWTO

[rey22]

Hello friends, I'd like to know how to make Xpde work under knoppix! The "guide" of XPde says "...xinitrcDEFAULT file to your HOME dir, this
file contain the lines you must add to your system to load XPde.
In most cases you just need to rename this file to .xinitrc"

...add to your system... where? THX a lot
Peace Rey22

.xinitrc will be in your home directory (and its hidden)

There might be one or more lines in it, or it may be blank/not exist. basically, whatever is in it will be run when you run the command startx from text mode.

so if it had

startkde

in the /home/knoppix/.xinitrc file, then if the user knoppix was in text mode and ran the command startx, KDE would be started. Each WM/DE will have its own launch command for .xinitrc. You can have several in the file so long as all but the one you are using have a "#" at the beginning so they will be ignored. See an example below-

startkde
#/usr/bin/icewm
#/usr/bin/fluxbox
#exec gnome-session
