I assume you don't want the display manager (xdm,kdm,gdm) to be started when you boot your machine? Well on debian the display manager is started on all multiuser runlevels (2-5). I you never want to start your display manager automatically you should do as root: update-rc.d -f <display manager> remove where <display manger> is either xdm, kdm, or gdm. The other option would be just to uninstall it (again as root) apt-get remove <display manger>
Yes that is what I thought would be a good idea. But maybe its not ?. And ok about the update and remove commands.
To start xfce4 from the console you should do as a normal user: cat << EOF > .xsession
What is that ?.
#!/bin/bash exec xfce4-session EOF chmod +x .xsession and use the startx command to start it.
All but the cat << EOF > .xsession is ok ?.But as I now have installed xfce, is it to be found in the login window, in such a way, that it is
not necessary to remove gnome nor kde ?. Erik.
