Problem using Fluxbox in Mepis


I am realitively new to the Linux scene and I decided to try Mepis and I really like it. I wanted to add some support for themes so I decided to try fluxbox which I installed through the package manager. The problem I have now is how to I get it to run?

I browsed the Fluxbox Wiki and found some vague info if you are using a KDE desktop but all the files it said that needed to be edited I could not find them? Another way it said was to edit the session manager using the control panel and there was no place to do that either?

If there is a better way to use themes in Mepis I would like to know also.

TIA,

Ausm

what mepis has by default is KDE fluxbox is another desktop environment completely, not a theme system. if your looking for diferent styles for kde goto kde-look.org

Yeah I figured that out after I figured out how to switch session environments which was easier then i thought.

Thx for the link!
