I'm on an i686 in KDE right now and I want to insall BlackBox. I downloaded the file while I was logged on as root to the root directory (file:/root/). When I do the commands it gives me it doesn't work. I just need a quick answer on what the command line should be. Thanks in advance.
Have a little box that I would like to install black box on (anything else will kill the thing). So far I can use xinit, which works, but it sure aint pretty
Have searched the Red Hat (7.2 btw) CD's, and can find no package that looks like black box. Will I have to download it, or is it under a non-obvious and different name.
If you do have to download it, it's not that big. Just find the newest version in RPM form and install it from the command prompt with rpm -ivh nameofpackage.rpm
I don't currently see it on the cds...
Dont know if you know this or not but if you enjoy Blackbox then you may want to try out Fluxbox as well, its basically blackbox but much better becuase it has nice loads of extra features that will come in handy to you. Check out the website at http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net.
