Hy, i would like to disable dgm and start in CLI, and when i do startx start fluxbox instead of gnome.

Now i'm starting gdm with fluxbox, how to disable it?

mv /etc/X11/Xsession /etc/X11/Xsession.old

That just makes a backup.

echo exec fluxbox > /etc/X11/Xsession

That will start fluxbox when you type startx.
