that IS the full copy, and to install, follow the docs at their website.

First of all, slackware 9.1 comes with Fluxbox on the disk. But if you want to install a newer version, then install slackware, go into KDE, and then download this file.

http://fluxbox.bottino.com/files/9.1....14-i386-1.tgz

Then, open up a terminal, go to the directory that you saved this file in, and then type:

Code:

su

upgradepkg fluxbox-0.1.14-i386-1.tgz

exit

and then exit X windows, and type this at the command line:

Code:

xwmconfig

Then just select "fluxbox" from the menu, and then type "startx";

If you want it to boot to a gui, then as root or super-user, edit /etc/inittab to start at runlevel 4 I think, you might double check me on that, inittab gives a list of the runlevels and their properties..

People make out slackware as if you have to type a 200 page essay to get it to upgrade but by the sound of it lots of things are done by simple one or two line commands.
