[parisc-linux] Setting blackbox as default WM

[s-clarob]

How do I specify black box to be my default windows manager, it's a long 
time since I have had to do this and that was on a RH6 based system.

I have searched through the /etc/X11 directory and not found any thing that 
works.

Thanks

Rob

put the complete path to black box executable in your ~/.xinitrc and 
startx will automatically run black box as your window manager.

Since it is not a parisc kernel devel issue, please send this knid of 
question eslewhere :-) debian-user@lists.debian.org for example.

Or, to change it system-wide 'update-alternatives --config
x-window-manager'.
