but how can I do that in Gentoo (because Gentoo use /etc/rc.conf ) ?
can I do shell script in the file /etc/rc.conf ?

Hi
Can gentoo run WM depending in the Kernel ?
for example when I run the kernel "gentoo-standard" I want gentoo to run gnome as my window manager
BUT if I run "gentoo-lowbattry" I want gentoo to run XFCE
can I do that ? (don't tell me to have two accounts ;) )
It should be trivial to check what kernel is running to decide what WM to use. How do you start X, and your WM? startx runs .xinitrc as a shell script IIRC, and {k,g,x]dm run sessions from /etc/X11/Sessions
sauron root # uname -r 2.4.22-ck2 sauron root # uname=`uname -r` sauron root # if [ "`echo $uname | egrep ck2$`" != "" ]
then echo "kernel ck2, running gnome" elif [ "`echo $uname | egrep lowbattery$`" != "" ] then echo "kernel lowbattery, running xfce" fi
sauron root # uname=2.4.22-lowbattery sauron root # if [ "`echo $uname | egrep ck2$`" != "" ]; then echo "kernel ck2, running gnome"; elif [ "`echo $uname | egrep lowbattery$`" != "" ]; then echo "kernel lowbattery, running xfce"; fi kernel lowbattery, running xfce
