How to successfully install Fluxbox

[Sasha Tsykin]

Just type "sudo apt-get install fluxbox" (without the quotation marks) 
in a terminal. When it is finished, logout, change the session to 
fluxbox and log in.

An alternative is to use xfce. Like fluxbox, it has very low cpu usage, 
and in ubuntu has the added advantage of being parcelled with all the 
programs needed to get a fully working desktop. To install it, load the 
ubuntu cd into the drive, and restart the computer. Make sure your 
computer is bootable from cd. When it boots into the cd screen, type 
"server" (without the quotation marks) and press enter. Then go about 
the install as usual. When your computer restarts and finishes 
installing packages, it will show a terminal. Log in, and type "sudo 
nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list" (without the quotation marks). Uncomment 
the lines pertaining to the universe repository. Press Ctrl+X and the 
enter and then anter again. Afterwards, type "sudo apt-get install 
xubuntu-desktop" (without the quotation marks) and wait for the install 
to finish. When it is done, restart the computer.
