Hootiegibbon's .iso: removing task-LXDE. (SOLVED)

[BJF]

dj: Did the uninstall from the Synaptic>File>History as per Hootie's suggestion already. I admit to leaving the task-printing and CUPS packages alone that were in that session, and left Openbox too in case it crashed something vital. Never thought to compare it to the Iced-Latte box alongside though. Go on, tell me that is what is st***ing up my desktop choices.
The Telling-off Box has been missing from my last two reboots though.....

If you said what desktop choices are being stuffed up and how, I might have a clue as to what's causing it. And, I'm not sure what a Telling-off Box is.

dj: I'm going to mark this (SOLVED) now. I went back and removed all vestiges of Openbox since the Iced-Latte machine didn't have it installed and I believe the two OS's share characteristics. And now all the confusion has vanished and it boots up to Hootie's IceWM desktop without a murmer.
The Telling-off Box was a poor description of the nag box that appeared questioning ownership of $HOME on every boot. My apologies.
Thank you for your patience and help. I now have a couple more commands to add to my notebook, even if I can't use them yet without a pipe key!

Cheers,
John.

John,

Glad you got it solved. The only Dell I have as a 1999 PIII. It came with 128MB RAM, but I upped it to 512MB. This thing didn't even come with an ethernet port. Had to add one in a PCI slot. Don't know where the original keyboard went, but the current one does have a | key. Just checked my old IBM Model M and, sure enough, it has a pipe key. Maybe Santa will bring you one this year, if we make it past December 21st.

Well my Dell's younger than your Dell, Mnya-mnya! And I kept my 128Mb and sent out for the Hooting One.

Aren't there going to be a whole lot of peed-off people who discover on the 23rd that they still have to Christmas shop?
