Firefox doesn't autorun

I have already searched in these forums for my problem(s), but the solutions, I found, don't work.
My situation is this:
I have a Knoppix 3.9 HD install. Making an intensive use of "apt --purge remove" I have now a "small Knoppix".
I have modified /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig substituting DESKTOP="kde" with DESKTOP="fluxbox" in order to unistall kde and use Fluxbox as window manager.
I would like to start Firefox when XFree starts: I copied /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc in /home/knoppix/.xinitrc and added the line "firefox". Rebooting XFree nothing happens. Any suggestion?
I also need to start a non-X program at system boot (a web server): how can I do?
At the end I need to start a non-X program under a "rxvt session" (so I can see what happens on the screen) at system boot: how can I do?
I'm a "almost-newbie" in Linux.
Thanks in advance.

Hi sassi67,

do you want to run an app when XFree starts or when Fluxbox starts? If it's the second instance maybe you need to create an apps file in ~/.fluxbox/ directory and put in it the app you want to run, following the suggest as in this link http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docs/...ev.php#startup

bye, max

Works!
I have created the file ~/.fluxbox/apps and added these lines:

[startup] {firefox}
[startup] {rxvt ...}

restart Fluxbox and voilà...

For the non-X apps I think I'll read something about daemons management under Knoppix, do I?
Thank you, maxIT

:D

or maybe something about in wich directories linux/debian look for start up scripts, maybe /etc/init.d or so...

I discover that I can put my non-X apps in /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig: they start. :!:
