hi, i am trying to get fluxbox installed in slackware....I downloaded the slackware package from the fluxbox site....ran installpkg and that went fine...but how do i add it to the xwmconfig menu?? in the xinit folder they are all startup scripts so i am not sure what to do from here -thanks

EDIT: or even how to run from the login prompt...i would assume i would have to add to the xwmconfig menu, but not sure

Here's one way [...among others]

I make a copy of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc that I name xinitrc.flux,
and I edit it to read

Code:

# Start the window manager
fluxbox

Then I copy /usr/X11R6/bin/startx to /usr/X11R6/bin/startflux and edit it to read

Code:

sysclientrc=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc.flux

Then from login prompt
startflux
