$HOME is a so-called environment variable and it probably points to /home/dsl (for the dsl user, for other users it points to their home directory). You can view it by the following command: echo $HOME

Edit .xinitrc, for example from the command line: scite .xinitrcAdd "xset s off" (without quotes) on a separate line before the last line (i.e. before "fluxbox"). Hope this helps. |
