/_I am playing with morphix and have it installed on an old box. It's pretty much a lightweight unstable debian distro. I am loving apt-get but coming from Suse I am having a few problems the biggest and most important one to me is I want to change Wm. I have Xcfe and have apt-getted? icewm now I want to get rid of Xcfe all together and have icewm as my only WM. I have been to debian.org and googled but can't find what I am looking for.

How about something like this:

1. apt-get install icewm-common
2. apt-get remove <Xcfe package>
3. in your .xinitrc place the line "exec icewm"
4. 'startx'

Me, I have one line in my .xinitrc: "exec blackbox". I wouldn't even
know what to do with a "desktop" :-)
