From within KDE, I use the Knoppix menu item utilities>Chose(sic)/ restart KNOPPIX desktop and I get a warning that running programs need to be closed, which I agree to, but then nothing happens,

Is this broken because I have installed Knoppix to HD?

Is there a manual way to change the default Window Manager to , say, fluxbox ?

With cheatcodes : knoppix26 desktop=fluxbox

or if knoppix is installed to hdd, on KDM, click session and choose your desktop.

:D
