Sorry, I'll leave someone else to answer that.

xinit
this will start up Xarm(27), then fvwm &, this will start the window
manager.

To save doing this everytime, create a file called '.xinitrc' in your home
directory. This is the users config/setup file for X. Add something along
the lines of:

# .xinitrc - XWindows startup scripts
xterm -g 80x24+0+0 &
fvwm

This gives you a simple xterm in the upper left corner of the screen and
starts up fvwm.
When fvwm is killed, the window manager will shutdown (usually the
preferred option).

I use 'rcm' as root. Option 1 lets you create new users.
Alternatively, the command 'adduser' also does this IIRC.

vipw manipulates the password file, but try rcm first.
