I want to make it so that when starts up that there are no icons, and fluxter and wmix are gone from the silt. I was wondering if someone could help me with this. What I have tried before is editing .xinitrc by putting in lines such as:
but I must be going about this the wrong way. I have searched the boards and found information regarding this but was not able to understand fully, that is why I am making a new post..xinitrc starts fresh each time. Look at the /usr/bin/enhace script to see what it does. I made a .xinitrc file like this that did what you want to do:
Code Sample
wmcpuload &>/dev/null & wmnet -w &>/dev/null & mount.app &>/dev/null & asmem -withdrawn -bg black -fg white &>/dev/null & fluxbox 2>/dev/null
you can't kill what's already deadThat does exactly what I wanted, thank you very much. How did you learn this? I am very interested but am not sure exactly how to go about learning. I understand some of what you wrote but not all of it. Is there a good place to research or if you dont mind could you explain some of this?learning comes from exploring, and often making mistakes =o) Much of what can be done in Linux can be understood much better with a little reading about Bash and other scripting languages (but mostly bash). http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html There's a lot there, but the first couple of parts should help a lot.Thanks for the link. I have been a Windows user all my life and am now trying to learn as much as I can about Linux, I just feel like I am constantly behind, but I find it very exciting learning this and I thank everyone for their help.Next Page...
