In the live CD 1.01 version, I decided to switch the window manager to JWM. Boy was that a mistake! Nothing worked. Nada. All I could do was hit Control-Alt-F1 to get out. Typing xwin would attempt to bring it back up but it would ultimately go right back to the prompt.
I typed reboot, thinking this would help. Nope, I still could not start xwin. I even tried deleting /etc/mousedevice. No help there either.
My question is, how do I get xwin to start with the default (fvwm95) window manager? Is it a simple matter of deleting a single corrupt config file? I'd rather not boot into Windows 95 and delete pup001 and start from scratch if I can help it. Thanks in advance.
JWM killed xwin! I can no longer start xwin. Help, please.

Don't quote me on this, but I think you can type something like "startx fvwm95". Or you could (I think) edit /etc/windowmanager to say fvwm95.
