Porteus

I use MATE and boot from usb with changes loaded to RAM

I want to set few keyboard options after user login

setxkbmap -option caps:escape

None of the following ways worked:

/etc/xprofile
~/.xprofile

/etc/lxdm/PostLogin
source ~/.xinitrc

../home/user/.config/autostart/autostart.kesktop
Exec=..home/user/.config/autostart

Would be nice to have minimal iso option without login manager and desktop to simply configure .xinitrc login and install window manager of choice. Because to remove something from Porteus is more complicated than to add.

in mate, this is handled in >Main Menu>Preferences>Keyboard>Layouts(tab)>Options>Caps Lock Behavior> (toggle) Swap Esc and Caps Lock.
this is then stored in ~/.config/dconf/user

you can do this quite simply by:
a. using the cheatcode: noload=003 and 3 to stop openbox from launching (it's included in 002-xorg) , although it can be handy to use as a comfortable environment to create your own 003-wm.xzm from.
or
b. deleting or better moving 003-*.xzm from porteus/base to eg. /porteus/optional
