Hello all ...
     
     a debian node of mine is using xdm ...

     Q1? Can someone please tell me how to set fvwm2 as the default window  
         manager.
     
     Q2? Is there a deb install package for olwm/olvwm and those related    
         apps that go along with it? (such as the slackware install has)

     Thanx in advance.
     
     As always - your help is appreciated...

Add 'fvwm2' in first position in /etc/X11/window-managers.

I've seen that a debian package has been made for Openwin libraries, but I dunno for the whole openwin environment.

I believe the system uses whatever comes first in the list in
/etc/window-managers.  I have fvwm2 first in the list, and that's what I get
as a default.

The xview-clients package contains olwm. There is no olvwm package
available yet (and nobody declared to work on one).
