Hey. I've done plenty of setups for console based installs, but I've decided that I'll add X interface to a machine I have. Anyway, I don't think I've ever touched the X series of packages in Slackware before and I didn't realize how many packages where in there.
What's the minimal packages to install to get X.org and Fluxbox up and running?
x11, x11-fonts, fontconfig, fluxbox, an extra font (like terminus), gtk, and a lot of libraries. If you go to a Slackware mirror look at the "x" directory, that is what Slackware typically installs to get X up and running.
