XFCE at Start Up

Hi All,
I am sorry if this question has been asked many times before how do you get XFCE to be the default gui to load on boot. I have done it before for KDE but I don't know how to do this for this GUI

Many thanks

Luke.

Re: XFCE at Start Up

For slim just open /etc/slim.conf & you'll figure out how to start xfce4 in a matter of seconds (one line to edit)

Re: XFCE at Start Up

kozaki, I am still new to arch and am trying to use slim.  Please, what is the line to edit and how do I need to edit it.  I have been doing some searching on the forums, and reading the slim docs, andthe wiki.  But dam in am getting confused.

I have xfce4 up and running.  I also have most every thing else figured out with the exception of a few errors that keep popping up and an xterm problem, but i am still working those.

Thanks for the help, Kelean.
