I have built a working rpm for fluxbox 0.1.14 for fedora. I was able to successfully install and run the newest fluxbox on fedora core1 with it. [/url][url=http://grep420.net/rpms/fluxbox-0.1.14-1.i386.rpm]http://grep420.net/rpms/fluxbox-0.1.14-1.i386.rpm.

 

If your default runlevel is 5 you need to add the session to dm. Here is an example of my session file. Make sure it is chmod 755 as well.

 

[root@xwing jsw34]# cat /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/fluxbox.desktop

[Desktop Entry]

Encoding=UTF-8

Name=Fluxbox

Type=Application

Icon=

Exec=/usr/local/bin/fluxbox

 

 

[root@xwing jsw34]# ls -al /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/fluxbox.desktop

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 95 Jan 7 12:19 /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/fluxbox.desktop

 

For those of you with default runlevel 3, then you need to create an .xinitrc file in your home dir.

 

[jsw34@bullpen jsw34]$ cat ~/.xinitrc

#!/bin/bash

/usr/local/bin/fluxbox

 

don't forget to chmod +x ~/.xinitrc

Howdy Folks . I am amishjim. I got the nick while I worked in a sawmill in York County, Pennsyltucky. I worked around a bunch of Amish guys and ended up with this huge Amish-type beard, which is orange. So it was like this big orangish red afro on my chin and the Amish hated it. hehe. People would come to the mill to buy lumber and would be like.."Look at the redheaded Amish guy!" and the Amish hated that even more, so all the non-Amish started calling me amishjim, hehe. That was like 12 years ago and it has stuck since. I'm not in the mill anymore, I now do freelance work in the Film and Television field. I do Camera and Audio mainly now for live sports such as Pirates baseball, Steelers, Penguins. O yea and I live in Pittsburgh now. I love the area, hate the economy. I am 33 now and will be graduating Pittsburgh Technical Institute on the 22 of this month, w00t! I am getting my Associate in blah blahComputer Network blah blah, it doesn't matter what it says ,there is no work here in the burgh. I am content working around sports television and I'm a lifelong fan of most sports. Anything competitive i guess.

So HELLO WORLD and I hope to learn alot more about linux in the near future and then php and whatnot. heh.
