A Couple of Incoherent Questions

[Brian K. Garel]

OK...Bare with me here...this probably isn't going to make much sense
but I'll try.

I have been away from Linux for a while now using Windoze everything.
Recently I scored myself a nice little laptop (older but I like it)
Anyway, I found on the net the live distribution of Linux called DSL  I
thought it was very cool and played with it for a while.  Eventually I
started wanting more from my little linux box so I installed Fedora Core
2.  Missing parts of my DSL installation I decided to install the
Fluxbox window manager which I think is a really neat little manager.
In the DSL version there was a utility called Slit which kind of
reminded me of GKrellm.  Question 1.  How do you get the thing working
in Fedora?  Everything I've read says that it should just be there and
be happy but I haven't seen it yet.  Question 2.  Does anyone know how
to include desktop icons on fluxbox?  There was a utility that I
downloaded from http://www.arny.org which I tried to install but it told
me that one of the dependencies was Xlib (described in the error message
as the X Windows Libraries) anyway, when I checked this out further
apparently (from my limited understanding of the universe) X windows is
now different than Xorg or something like that???????  Can someone
please shed some light on this subject as I'm starting to lose my mind.


Once I have this all figured out then I'll ask you about the stupid
little Lucent Win Modem that I have in this thing!  ;)

Thanks in advance for your patience and responses.
