I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get lxde to be used on tinycore.

Can someone please help me out?

Hello :)! Have you installed it from the AppBrowser and then replaced the default entry in /etc/sysconfig/desktop with lxde?

If not, try that. Remember to backup the file in order to restore it if something goes wrong.

Should be automatic with no editing required when downloaded with appbrowser onboot option upon subsequent boots. Likely you will want to add noicons to stop the use wbar.

That should not be required to be done by the user as the extension startup file (i.e. '/usr/local/tce.installed/LXDE') does exactly this step at installation time of 'LXDE.tcz'.

OTOH if one installs different WM one after another the content of '/etc/sysconfig/desktop' gets over-written by whichever WM got installed last. In this case I'd suggest to re-run the WM startup file again (as 'root' e.g. via sudo sh /usr/local/tce.installed/LXDE) or before execution of 'startx'.
