2 (stupid) questions

(1/2) > >>

KernelPanic:
If you'll all excuse my stupidity for one monent I have a question, well two;

1) How do you set you default WM from CLI?

and

2) How do you add a user (jane) from command line?

Thanks in advance  

Calum:
well to add a user, you would use either "

umm, on most versions of redhat,

saying "switchdesk kde" will switch to kde

voidmain:
1) Edit /etc/inittab and change the "initdefault" from 3 to 5.
2) a. # adduser jane
    b. # passwd jane

[edit] I believe I misunderstood your question on #1.  I thought you meant you didn't have a graphical logon screen and booted to a virtual terminal.  But chaosforages has the answer if you just wanted to switch window managers from the shell.[/edit]
