I have make a remaster
and now i want to start a script after
x windows was launch
i add this line in .xinitrc ==>
mount /mnt/hda1
rxvt -rv -T fixed yellow "start shell" -e sudo sh /mnt/hda1/start.sh

and when i launch dsl when it launch x windows i have a black
screen
if i launch the script "sh .xinitrc" manually it's ok
.....?

perhaps it's not the good file to launch a x term at startup....?

Try adding an ampersand (&) after the command, and make sure it is above the "fluxbox" line (unless you want to run the script in place of the window manager). This runs the command in the background and allows .xinitrc to continue its business.

You should be able to run anything you want from .xinitrc

i don't understand the difference between
================================
fluxbox &
rxvt -rv -T fixed yellow "start shell" -e sudo sh /mnt/hda1/start.sh

and

rxvt -rv -T fixed yellow "start shell" -e sudo sh /mnt/hda1/start.sh &

fluxbox
=================================
