[quote="syboor"]If you just want to change the default window manager, but not the details of how this window manager is called, you can look for the following lines in /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig:

Code:
case "$DESKTOP" in kde|wmaker|gnome|xfce|icewm|twm) ;; *) DESKTOP="kde"; ;; esac
Just out of curiosity, would changing DESKTOP="kde" to DESKTOP="bash" give me an X-enabled shell without actually loading a window manager?
