   I3 is my favourite tilling window manager. I searched the package (in stable and cooking repos too) but i couldnt find. My question is: it is possible to use these WM in slitaz? If it is possible how? Thx

   Well, you could try compiling it yourself OR converting over the debian package found @ http://packages.debian.org/sid/i3-wm using the tazpkg convert command.

   Slim Display Manager:

   ~/.xinitrc Add an entry for i3 with exec i3

   startx:

   ~/.xsession Replace exec openbox-session with exec i3

   i want to try i3 but cant start it. i tried it with the deb-file,converting,installing and with the i3-tazpkg file from the cooking packages but it wont start and why is the converted deb-file bigger than the one from cooking?

   first i added exec i3 in /home/tux/.xinitrc but it wasnt availeble with F1
   so i added 'i3' in the sessions-line in /etc/slim.conf
   now i have the choice to select i3 with F1 but it doesnt work. just login failure

   i want to have openbox as standard login and only the choice to choose i3 so i dont change anything in /home/tux/.xsession-----and ive 'exec $WINDOW_MANAGER' standing but in /home/tux/.config/slitaz/applications.conf is 'exec openbox-session' standing. am i right that this configuration is to set the standard window manager?

   so where im wrong and is it better to take the converted deb-file or the cooking-file?

   by the way: very much thanks to the iniciator, all makers and helpers of slitaz.
   i really love the efficiency. i like productivity in an computer system that i can work with so go on....
