Hi,Are you asking how to install Debian, or are you asking how to startx with your preferred wm? Assuming the latter.
I need help on learning how to install Debian so I can start X with any desired window manager ie. icevwm, blackbox by default.
Or any suggestion on which would be the best installation process.You can set this on a user-by-user basis by creating a file in the user's home directory named ".xinitrc", and put the name of your preferred wm in that file. Here's what mine looks like, which startx KDE:
Or please lead me to a detailed HowTo. I don't want gnome or kde just a fast, non-heavy window manager like
icewvm or blackbox.

If you want to change it system-wide, I believe you'll need to change the symlink /etc/alternatives/x-window-manager; you can do so by running "update-alternatives --config x-window-manager", and/or /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager (with "update-alternatives --config x-session-manager").
You could also install KDM which is a graphical login screen, which will give you a choice of which wm to start (I don't believe xdm or wdm offers the choice; I _think_ gdm does, but I'm not sure).
