X and Fluxbox :: xfree86 (HD Install)

Hey, thanks for the help guys, but my understanding of X is a bit dodgy, I've been thinking that xdm is just a login startup, but it seems to be the thing which starts X with full xfree86. So I guess my question now is why does it sign in, load a bit, then put be back on the login screen? Maybe I need to link the X window system to fluxbox? Thanks people for the help

Ok! I finally figured all this stuff up! This is my method on putting full X on a hard drive install.

Once DSL is installed and logged in as root:

1) dpkg-restore
2) apt-get update
3) apt-get install x-window-system, then setup XF86Config-4 any way you please
4) edit /etc/init.d/xdm and put exit 0 on the first line
5) edit $HOME/.xserverrc and modify the exec command to:
exec /usr/bin/X11/X -auth $HOME/.Xauthority
and do the same for any other logins (like dsl)
/home/dsl/.xserverrc
6) remove startx
rm /usr/bin/X11/startx
and what I did, was replace it with my linux server's startx (slackware 10), so just google around for one and place it in!
7) optional: If you have some privelage problems with some /tmp X file, delete the file/dir, then type:
chmod 1777 /tmp
chown root.root /tmp

And I hope this works for people like me who had a nightmare putting full X in DSL!
