Hi i am trying to find the fluxbox's minimum requirements but i can;t.... any idea?

AFAIK you just need to have X11. No GNOME/KDE style hideous dependencies. Here is what Gentoo reckons (essentially that you will benefit from gettext+freetype):

thx...for your reply..... but wht are the memory,cpu and h/d requirements? If i wnt to run kde/gnome programmes what i must do?

if you can run linux, you can run fluxbox.
fluxbox is less than a meg in size, uses probably 2 megs of ram, which is way less than X.
you can add gnome and kde apps to the fluxbox menu, or type the name of them in a terminal.

thx...but what other packages must be installed for running kde or gnome apps? some libraries?

If you want to run kde or gnome apps then chances are you're gonna need some of the components of those desktops installed depending upon what app.

Running kde or gnome is not that same as having the base components installed.

Not sure what you're after here? If it's the dependencies required, say for k3b, then you'll need to look at the k3b documentation.

I use fluxbox with slackware but have never ran kde or gnome but they are installed somewhere on the system just so I can use stuff like k3b.

yeah, same here. i use the old blackbox, and run kde and gnome apps often. you generally need a full kde install to run kde apps, and you need several libraries for gnome or gtk apps.
you need to go the apps website to see what you would need. if your goal is to have nothing on your system that you don't need, you're in for a ton of work.

tone of work ?
Can u give me the site or a url for starting reading?

there are a lot of minimal distributions around, like peanut linux.

you can sort of see what libraries an app needs with ldd. it shows the libraries that an app is linked to.
