STILL can't find fluxbox or Blackbox?


Hi all, I installed blackbox off of the mandy 9.1 cd's but I STILL cannot find that program!! I downloaded Fluxbox actually BEFORE I found blackbox and double clicked on it (I'm a Noob), waited a few secs and got a message back saying "everything already installed." I don't see this as possible cause supposedly fluxbox does not come on the Mandy 9.1 cd's but blackbox does. Blackbox was NOT installed at the time, but it is now, but I STILL CANNOT FIND IT OR USE IT.........OR FLUX.........
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated........
Thanks.......
RANDON

OK I found it, in the login menu, but only blackbox, not fluxbox. I want to post it but I can't since i'm not on the web with my pc that has linux on it.......I know I tried to type it in the console and It came up with "no such file or directory." Strange since when I go to install it it tells me "everything already installed" (for fluxbox).
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
RANDON

X automatically starts at bootup, I don't type anything in the console. Does it matter if im in X or not?

In a console, as root, type:

Code:
# urpmi fluxbox
