I just checked and the blackbox install size is 752KB compared to 952KB for fluxbox. But fluxbox has native key bindings where blackbox uses bbkeys for this and the install size for bbkeys is 276KB. So for anybody that uses bbkeys with blackbox fluxbox is actually a smaller install. The fluxbox homepage http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net has more info on what other features have been added. If anybody wants to see some fluxbox screenies I have some here: http://www.gotroot.net.nz/~adrian/screenies.html -- Adrian Robertson Christchurch New Zealand ICQ: 72041173 http://www.gotroot.net.nz/
