pacman -S ratpoison
Quite easy to learn/me also installed ratpoison on his Arch... Reading manuals now...
ctrl + t + ? - help(will list all commands)
ctrl + t + c - create new terminal
ctrl + t + n - next window
ctrl + t + p - previous window
ctrl + t + ! - execute a command(used to start applications)
ctrl + t + k - close the window
ctrl + t + b - open url with your browser
ctrl + t + a - view date and time and calander
ctrl + t + ctrl + a - view time and date
Well check the ~/.ratpoisonrc file for more details and to customise a lot of stuff. Like, I have changed ctrl + t to ctrl + s since I am used to ctrl + a within screen and there's a lot of similarity between ratpoison and screen (ratpoison is GUI version of screen mainly).

And if you got a half-decent sized display:
C-t (s|S) - Splits the screen vertically/horizontally into two
C-t (R) - Removes a frame (each split's a frame)
C-t (t) - Acts as C-t for the application under focus (Useful for opening tabs in a browser, for instance.)

You use RatPoison with a DM ? Shame on you. DMs are for n00bs. Use startx, startxfce4 and similar commands after login in text mode. Its so damn simple to use.
make it three. not me, but one of my friends who is a regular (non-member) reader on this forum installed it being inspired by you.woohoo. /me added atleast 2 more ratpoison users.
me ? I installed ratpoison, but I am still waiting for StumpWM
ratpoison is WM, not DM. And startx is more insecure, use more secure solutions *gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Fix_The_Login_Security_HoleYou use RatPoison with a DM ? Shame on you. DMs are for n00bs. Use startx, startxfce4 and similar commands after login in text mode. Its so damn simple to use.

DM = Display Manager.
Like GDM, KDM, XDM, etc.

Installed Sidux.I'm not in the sudoers list .HELP!How to install graphics drivers?I posted this while having lunch so ..........

Code:
gpasswd -a sunny1211993 wheelThen, edit sudoers file.
Code:
nano /etc/sudoersnote that you need to be root to do the above.
Installing graphics drivers is simple as ever. Go to nVidia website, download the drivers and then use the built in installer.
Edit: and yes, you might want to get rid of KDE3.5.9 if you installed the Sidux DVD version. Install KDE4.1 instead. Thats why I had told you initially to get the slim ~400MB XFCE CD instead, because you won't waste time downloading KDE and then ditching it.

no sudo ? then do apt-get install sudo
and yes, KDE has this thing called terminal sessions menu which has root terminal. very useful.
kde 3.5.9 has no built in compositor. so get kde 4.1 instead.

Install the package sudo.
Then execute command visudo root user.
This opens up the file /etc/sudoers in a special session of vi editor[Don't try opening the file with nano or any other editor.]
Find line that says "ROOT ALL=(ALL) ALL"
Just below this line add "username ALL=(ALL) ALL"
You're done.
BTW, I do hope you know how to use vi editor.!
