im using rh9
this book ses i have to modify my xinitrc script but the example looks nothing like what i have
the following is my xiinitrc script

#!/bin/sh
# (c) 1999-2002 Red Hat, Inc.

userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
userxkbmap=$HOME/.Xkbmap

done

else
exec twm
fi
fi


i dont care weather i use icewm or fluxbox but what ever u can help me with will be fine
i chose the text login not graphical so i cant boot to fail safe and open icewm unless there really is a problem



overall question

want to use icewm OR fluxbox instead of kde or gnome
dont no what to do to my xinitrc script cause it looks greek (for now)

any sugestion/comment/etc... welcome
thanx all
