I've got a question: How do i install Blackbox 0.50.5? I've been searching
the Blackbox websitre (http://blackbox.wiw.org) but cannot find any info
about installing Blackbox!
I'm at the moment using KDE - so how do I install Blackbox and tell MkLinux
to use it, and not KDE?
Take care, Kim Vexborg

do you need help compiling/installing or do you need help on getting X
to start blackbox instead of kde?
It looks like I need help to both (compiling/installing and getting X to
start Blackbox instead of KDE).

go to http://blackbox.wiw.org/, download the version 0.50.5 tar/gzip
archive (first choice).
Gunzip it (gunzip -d <downloaded blackbox file>).
Untar it (tar -x <gunzipped or decompressed blackbox file>).
I did a find for blackbox with kfind (can't remember where it ended up
in my system) and did a symlink to /root.
When you start up linux, the welcoming screen has many wm options. Try
failsafe, after you've logged in and type exec /root/blackbox. If there
isn't any other wm working, blackbox will appear and you're set. There
is another way of setting it as default but it implies going into files
and modifying the default.
I think blackbox is great and it's no frills presentation makes it very
snappy.
Good luck.

first when you untar/gunzip the archive do this
tar xzvf blackbox-0.50.5.tar.gz
this will do both at the same time, Then go into the newly created
blackbox dir and type:
./configure
if all goes well type
make
then as root type:
make install
to get it as default is easy. just make a file called .Xclients in your
home dir that has this in it.
exec blackbox
after you have made this file do this command on it to make it
executable
chmod u+x .Xclients
then restart x and it should bring blackbox up.
good luck
