I need to get rid of slim "display manager" so that boot tOresents a
cli text log in.

    # update-rc.d -f slim disable 2

This has no effect.

I go to /etc/X11/default and comment the line /usr/bin/slim
But this had no effect.

My goal is to have startx start fluxbox automatsically. I suppose I
could uninstall slim, but then I fear I'm just get the default decvuan
window manager.

Then I do $ startx fluxbox I get what suppose is the devuan default
winwow manager (a grey desktop with devuan spiral lower right). It
blocks starting fluxbox.

I have no ~/.bash_profile or ~/.xinitrc
