Create a file called ~/.xinitrc

fluxbox

now when you "startx" you will run fluxbox.

Not sure about XFce
-kZo

I can help you add XFCE, are you using a display manager? if so which one...xdm/gdm/kdm, if not then you can just run 'startxfce4' from the command line to start XFCE. Cheers!

your missing the 4 :o startxfce4 there should be a file known as /etc/xfce4/xinitrc that you can copy to ~/.xinitrc if you are using XDM or any other display manager

Nope, it the same as "bash: startxfce4: command not found" so i guess, i'm going to do the worse job for my fc1.
