Hello fred i3 is a very good wm you need to do this at the cli aptitude install i3-wm i3lock i3status suckless-tools Good documentation http://i3wm.org/docs/ https://faq.i3wm.org/questions/ There is currently an irc channel dedicated to i3 / i think they made it rc.twice-irc.de channel #i3 Also since your going to be booting to the cli you will possibly need to change your runlevl in /etc/inittab http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-changing-run-levels.html (Run level) Also you might need to use .xinitrc or .xsession to boot up i3 Configuration Edit your ~/.xinitrc and add: exec i3 Once that is done type in startx Hope this helps Regards Josef -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
