Fluxbox

Hi Niki!

Glad I asked! I appreciate the correction.

Basically, then, there's nothing different being done at the command line
that would be done via the lunar menu, eh?. The module itself won't be
treated and differently. Jeff Hodges has mentioned that the fluxbox module
had been changed recently so I took "success" as some kind of option or
parameter that would somehow turn my fortunes around. Since that's not the
case, I'd wonder what kind of chance I'd have getting it on short of some
kind of fix. I tried and failed with it a number of times last night. I'm
putting Lunar Linux on a network. I'll run lin fluxbox on the second
machine, copy off the log and send it in. But I'd like to get the first one
up and running ASAP, so I'll go with Blackbox on that one for the time
being.

Again, thanks for the correction.

John Lowell
