At Sat, 10 Mar 2001 it looks like Daniel Leal composed:

dleal->Hi David.
dleal->
dleal->The command is "startx". But first you've got to create a file called
dleal->.xinitr in your home directory (/home/yourusername). in that file you must
dleal->have a line related to what windowmaneger you wich to start (kde,
dleal->windowmaker, afterstep, etc, etc...)
dleal->
dleal->Exemples:
dleal->If you want to starx windowmaker put the following line in your .xinitrc:
dleal->
dleal->exec wmaker
dleal->
dleal->For kde:
dleal->
dleal->exec startkde
dleal->
dleal->For afterstep:
dleal->
dleal->exec afterstep
dleal->
dleal->and so on for other window managers...

........ I've found it kinda handy to use the following command

echo `which kde` > ~/.xinitrc

Those are `backticks` and of course choose the window manager of
your choice.
