need help - fluxbox not starting anymore but openbox

[emninger]

After i did some tweaking to the (gtk) themes (using lxappearance and obconf), now tinycore starts automatically into openbox although the system is set use fluxbox - and i see that tinycore starts fluxbox after having finished to load the extensions. I deleted openbox and now, i don't have any desktop anymore. On the login tinycore laments about openbox missing.

What could/should i do? (For the moment i booted from an usb-stick and put openbox.tcz to the ondemand on sda1

You are running around here like a chicken with its head cut off.
Please study the book and spend some time in the wiki.
You should not be putting anything in ondemand.  Extensions go into optional, and you should be using the tools to manage tce-loading, onboot and ondemand.
Please show your onboot.lst file and the contents of your .filetool.lst.

True, could be a good description of my feelings. May be it's too difficult for me ... :-(

I did, although you might not believe it.

You should not be putting anything in ondemand.  Extensions go into optional, and you should be using the tools to manage tce-loading, onboot and ondemand.
Please show your onboot.lst file and the contents of your .filetool.lst.

Where are extensions going when i do APPS > Browse > Download & Load ?

Hi emninger
Why are you backing up  /etc  and  /usr/local/share? If you need certain files backed up, specify them.

[emninger]

I did it - for the moment - to not loose configurations - i'm not able to have all in mind and set  them file by file to be permanent. Once i've a setup as i would like, that will change. Eg. i installed themes and cursor themes in /usr/local/share/icons respectively themes and, obviously, after a reboot they were gone 

Thanks for your help. This fluxbox/openbox problem i figured out.

[gerald_clark]

Wipe out your onboot.lst and start over.  It is a complete pile of crap.
Just "tce-load -iw" those extensions you really need.

Remove etc from .filetool.lst.
This is the 4th or 5th time you have been told this.
It is overwriting boot time configurations with crap in you backup.

Hi emninger
Blindly backing up system directories will cause you problems. I strongly recommend you figure out which files you
need to backup and only list them in your  filetool.lst  file.

Ok, i'll try ...
