Re: startup - sticky to FAQ

2005-02-08 Thread Marshall Kiam-Laine
***excellent Chris,  many thanks.
   a proper answer instead of one of those 
   smart-arse  rtfm  types  ! :)

***im sure a lot of us new-to-linuxers ask this
   very same question, so maybe stick this in
   the  faq  somehow.   bfn.

   (1) $startkde didnt work, is that the right command please ?
 
 type this:
 
 echo exec startkde  .xinitrc
 
 
   (2) what command to start gnome ?
 
 type this:
 
 echo exec gnome-session  .xinitrc
 
 
   (3) how to tell it to start one of the GUI automatically ?
 
 
 The contense of .xinitrc should now look like this:
 
 exec startkde
 exec gnome-session
 
 Comment out one of the line with # in front of it. So, if you want to
 start KDE:
 
 exec startkde
 #exec gnome-session
 
 
 Then, when you type:startx   
 KDE starts. Do the opposite if you want gnome
