    How do I change window managers

    I have hd installed and would like to change window managers due to lack of alot of memory on a system I am using it on. but I wanna be able to change window managers often.. not edit some file could anyone tell me how to load a lower memory hungry manager....?? that will still let my wine stuff work.. (some of my window programs need more memory too )

    change w/m

    If you are booting the cd and not on a hdd install of Knoppix try hitting F2 at bootup and typing in a cheatcode to start another window manager besides Kde.I use fluxbox but recomend that you try icewm.At the boot prompt try typing "knoppix desktop=icewm" then hit ENTER.
