Quote from: VastOneas far as I know there is not a known distro at all that has only FluxBox

well there is/was this
and this
or maybe this

all old mind you

although far from a regular here

strip out anything you can
i think ive said this before but
everybody uses different stuff
i bet i use a different final four (browser, filemanager, terminal, editor) than everybody else
apt-get is our friend
and smxi does all the hard work

i can add my beloved openbox back in
even though flux kinda grows on ya

anything having to do with better sound is ok in my book
and if thats pulse...

and once you get ikey's installer happening
when ikey gets ikey's installer happening

winner

Quote from: VastOneI think Debians installer may be made to work with VSIDO /SID in the future

now that is indeed some good news
it ain't pretty but the old text-expert is still my favorite

themes and tint and conky etc are easily changed by the end user

i too found it a bit  "shiny"
although i'm not sure thats the right word
polished is more like it
but that is a good thing, shows that someone knows their shit
as in:
    i'm surprised at how polished looking it is for a brand new distro

i just sanded off the bits i didn't like
like everyone will do

openbox and xfce are what they are
and what you want
you said from the beginning that this was a spin of what you used
run with it

seems like theres a couple i3 guys here if you want to add a tiler
im too lazy for tilers
install x-tile for when i want to goof around

i like my openbox
but arnault at livarp has an awesome flux setup that i have been using
i see vrkalak is now in the house
i believe is an expert in that field
(or is he just out standing in his field)


do what you do vast
you've got a couple great minds here in their respective disciplines
point people to all the themes and configs and let them have at it

not that i give a rats ass cause im on amd64
but if your BORED
whip up a 32 bit for folks
that seems to be the only real thing that i hear is missing

keep up the awesome job

^i know for me it was due to lvm
which i suspect you know already
but thats no longer the case

and in case something gets pooched

just throwing this in for you jedi
its on the swmbo's box but...

/boot and / are ext2
rest are mix (xfs,jfs,ext4)
it also uses lvm which is prolly no good to you

gimped as per fitz's intructions (thanks fitz)
90X90
all good now

^^me too
gif to a png

do i need to flip a switch somewhere?
i see you got yours going though

what you do?

i believe i installed lvm from live
then ran installer
then stayed in live
chrooted and installed lvm again
then restarted

i think

hey hinto

don't know if its too late
but
installer doesn't see lvm

but if you set up in fstab after it'll work
i cant remember if lvm2 was there or i installed it

vast could probably help with that

bacon you say
man have i got some recipes for you guys
ill dig them off the backup
caution your arteries

thanks fitz

if im starting from a blank slate
where does sys/extlinux come from

or do i use grub to install then follow your tut from there?

make sense?

here we are again
all of us
as one
altogether


now if your done screwin around with forums we can get down to business

happy to be around and watch this thing grow
as before, wont have much to offer but the odd comment or smile
hey who knows, maybe i might get lucky and help a bigger rookie than me

cheers
