change window manager

can any one tell me how to change to window manager in knoppix it is very frustrating having to put up with the resource hogging kde.

At the log in prompt choose a different window manager.

If you aren't using graphical login you can edit the .xinitrc in your home directory. Here's what mine looks like:

Code:

---

hotkeys -t dn_901 -Z &
xmodmap -e "keycode 110 = Multi_key" &
aumix -L &
xscreensaver -nosplash &
gkrellm -w &
xmms &
exec fluxbox

---

The important part is the exec at the end. You could also do exec gnome-session if you wanted to run gnome instead (if you installed it) or exec icewm for IceWM.
