Arrow fluxbox on Redhat8

Hey,

I am looking at running fluxbox on my machine. i can get it compiled and installed but i can't seem to run it. I am running Redhat 8.0 and i need to know how to disable gnome and how to have fluxbox run in it's place.

so far i have had no luck trying things i found in forums... probably just me, thanks for the help.

search the forums for xinitrc. on redhat there should be some file in the user's home directory that you can change, or you can just change it system wide as root by editing the xinitrc file, wherever RedHat felt that it should go, if they even call it that...

I think it's stored in /etc/ for the entire system in Red Hat... I could be wrong...

edit ~/.Xclients-default comment out (#) the existing line(s) and add
exec /path/to/fluxbox

If you want to run other apps when fluxbox starts up, edit your .xinitrc
