FluxBox on SuSe 9.1


I just got a fluxbox rpm for suse and installed it without a hitch. I restrated my computer but I can't select flucbox for my window manager. There isn't even an option to change window managers? Any idea how to select it?

did you try editing the .xinitrc file in your home directory? If you dont have one create it and edit it to say:
exec fluxbox

or maybe just typing fluxbox in that file will work, try one of those.
