If you are using something such as fluxbox (which is blackbox with some minor changes for embedded key bindings etc. BTW). -- download the tarball from the fluxbox website. [EMAIL PROTECTED] tar -zxvf fluxbox-0.1.14.tar.gz [EMAIL PROTECTED] cd fluxbox-0.1.14 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./configure [EMAIL PROTECTED] make [EMAIL PROTECTED] su -- type your root password [EMAIL PROTECTED] make install [EMAIL PROTECTED] exit [EMAIL PROTECTED] cd [EMAIL PROTECTED] vim .xinitrc -- comment out (not remove) anything you have in there and simply put fluxbox restart the computer and log in using the same method.
