get rid of landlord
Sorry, it was quite simple to stop gmd and gnome by
renaming /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm /etc/rc2.d/K01gdm
whereby it boots into nongraphical $
after that, the script
/home/francesco/.Xsession
#!/bin/sh
xrdb -load $HOME/.Xresources
exec xterm
leads into twm. From here it is easy to modify .Xsession to launch a light
window manager like jwm.
A QUESTION: how to launch gnome from the terminal window above? In case of
installed kde the command is:
$startkde
Cheers

Reinstalled amd64 Debian etch to have ext3 filesystem throughout.
Netinstall with daily build 20 July, mirror ftp.uni-koeln.de, install
--Desktop environment
--Standard system
whereby I got gnome and I have not yet found a way to get rid of it (or,
preferably, set it aside, to use it for e-mail should my i386 machine go
down).
I have written in my home a .Xsession file
#!/bin/sh
xrdb -load $HOME/.Xresources
exec xterm
however, instead of getting the expected
$
from where to launch, if wanted,
$startx
and then, if wanted,
$startkde
(as I am used to do on the i386 machine, while on previous installation of
amd64 I neither had kde nor gnome, but only jwm)
I get the yellow flower of gnome, from which user/pass leads to term window in
X system and from which I am unable to get rid of the X system.
I tried to configure
#update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
but the answer is that there is only /usr/bin/metacity
(which is not true, because there is also /usr/bin/xterm).
Well, this gnome has taken possession of my machine. I know Windows little,
but it seems something like that.
I came to amd64 for calculations, how to get pure
$
without graphics? gnome not only takes memory but it might interfere with the
calculations.
Thanks for help
