I thought it'd be fun to try some different Window Managers, so I used the Installer to download and install Fluxbox and IceWM. But how do I shutdown JWM and start one of these two instead? I don't see any options to select other Window Managers from the SHUTDOWN menu.
Thanks!

Kill the X server with Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace.
Then, in the text prompt type
If you don't know the exact command to start any WM, at the text prompt, type a few letters and the 2 or 3 times the TAB key i.e
the autocompletion will show one or more commands you can try (always with xwin before).
This works most of the times, but with some estrange WM you´ll have to deal with .xinitrc Google about it.
Enjoy.
Then, in the text prompt type
Code: Select all
# xwin icewm
Code: Select all
#fluxb [TAB] [TAB]
