Re: [SOLVED] Edit xinitrc from live
Can you not just edit .xinitrc from the live cd without mounting root and home?
Also, what was the error?

Alt Ctrl F1when in Slim, log-in (in linux console), edit your .xinitrc, restart Slim / your computer.

Re: [SOLVED] Edit xinitrc from live
It's pointless to just say that you got an error. If you want help, post the error exactly as it appeared, along with a detailed description of what you were doing when the error occurred.
