you are the man!

I did a bit of tinkering before but without much success

actually, ideally, I'm doing away with any login and leaving it to a startx - terminals are much more hardcore looking.


it's good to see you had success as in a prior attempt I think I must've removed some knoppix-specific config file or just edited one with an editor that automatically wrapped as I got a few annoying errors.


I look forward to your posting of packages to remove!


with all the clobber gone I'm going to try and duplicate my system as of now (it's gentoo which makes this debian business alien) but that'll mean

phoenix as the browser - light and with tabbed browsing/mouse gesture and mplayer plugin support.
fluxbox - obviously!
gkrellm
gaim
gotta have xmms to play all the mp3s I'll squeeze on there


was also wondering how you actually configured it

last time I used Xnest but I can't startx with fluxbox as my windowmanager

i.e. export WINDOWMANAGER=/usr/bin/wherefluxboxis && startx

just a whole load of xserver errors fly my way. It worked last time as well, I've obviously missed something.

Xnest -ac :1 &
chroot /knoppixsrc
zile /etc/resolv.conf
mount -t proc /proc proc
apt-get install synaptic
apt-get install nano
export DISPLAY=localhost:1
export WINDOWMANGER=/usr/bin/fluxbox
startx

what did I miss?!!
