GNU/Linux Knoppix ( Debian based and compatible as testing/unstable). can be used as a Boot CDRom or Installed to the HardDisk :

Knoppix is known to be like a demo disk to show how GNU/Linux looks like, but Once booted you get a fully operational system so fairly usable.

The Next step is to copy the system if you want to use it from you HardDisk.

This can be easly done

• by repartitionning the disk with qtparted ( Windows partition can be resized also)
• then copy the files w /usr/local/bin/knx-hdinstall
• lilo will be installed
• just reboot a fresh allready all configured Debian

If i run xinit X show up as expected there is no Window manager if set xfce-session on my ~/.xsession and run ”. ~/.xession” it starts and every thing is fine.

But it i start from console $ startx X display is open, the cursor changes as specified in Debian /etc/alternatives , but then screen closes… and there are notnoticable error & warning in /var/log/XFree86.0.log

Btw using startxfce4 it works

I suspect the question is related to Xautority but I can not figure out what is wrong with this…. please help

problem solved :

cat ~/.xinitrc
#===/bin/sh===
# exec xfce4-session
exec wmaker

but why with default xinitrc it does not work ?

# dpkg -S xinitrc
xbase-clients: /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
# dpkg -S startx
xbase-clients: /usr/X11R6/bin/startx

# apt-get install gdm # select wmaker

# cat ~/.xsession-error
