Never tried it myself, so I'm not sure. However, I would imagine it's as simple as starting the executable the same way you would start any other WM, ie. put the path to the Oroborox AppDir in your .xinitrc or whatever script you use to start X. Now, if you are using a graphical login... One thing to note, when you download the tarball, and untar it, in ROX Filer you are not going to see a directory folder the way you normally would, it shows up as what I referred to above, an 'AppDir'. Right click on it and you will see 'look inside'. Now you should see an executable called AppRun. *That* is the actual WM. I've got quite an archive of the ROX list, lemme do some searching later on and I'll see if I can find a similar question (and answer) to yours. I have to say, there doesn't appear to be much documentation on how to use Oroborox, maybe because it's still in heavey devel mode. -- JoeHill / RLU #282046 / www.freeyourmachine.org 15:27:47 up 76 days, 16:37, 8 users, load average: 1.32, 1.39, 1.33 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes, to blind you from the truth..." -- Morpheus, in The Matrix, describing Fox News
