 Request for Fluxbox 1.3.2Would it be possible to get Fluxbox 1.3.2 added to the repository? Is it available somewhere I don't know about? I installed the testing repo but no luck there. I am using Mepis 11.0. The link to the Fluxbox tarball here: http://fluxbox.org/download/

Re: Request for Fluxbox 1.3.2 Fluxbox 1.3.2 is available from the Debian squeeze-backports repo: http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=squeeze-backports&searchon=names&keywords=fluxbox
There are instructions here: http://backports-master.debian.org/Instructions/ on how to add the squeeze-backports repo and use it. |

 Re: Request for Fluxbox 1.3.2 [Solved]
Thank you very much! No matter how many times I do some things I can't always remember what or how I did a particular thing so here is what I did and maybe someone else might find it useful too. Open the following file as Root: /etc/apt/sources.list Add this line at the bottom: deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports/ squeeze-backports main Open a terminal and su to root then type the following: apt-get -t squeeze-backports install fluxbox 1.3.2 Last edited by Wolvrik on Mon Mar 19, 2012 6:38 pm, edited 1 time in total. |

Re: Request for Fluxbox 1.3.2 Just FYI the sudo is not needed if you are root. Plus you have to setup sudo if you want to use it in Mepis.

Re: Request for Fluxbox 1.3.2 antiX has a different selection of software to use.
