Yeah I got fluxbox runnin now. Very minimalistic window manager. I was starin at it without blinkin fer a while because all I saw was a chrome blank screen and a bar below. I've also installed the sid pack (themes pack fer Fluxbox) and I'll test it later. Here's how installed FluxBox.
su to root. Go to /usr/ports directory. Search fer fluxbox.
vampire# cd /usr/ports
vampire# make search name=fluxbox
The search result will be printed on the screen so go fer fluxbox-0.1.14_2 port which is located in /usr/ports/x11-wm/fluxbox.
vampire# cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/fluxbox
Then it's the time to install it.
vampire# make
vampire# make install
If there's no error printed on the screen, congratulation! You now have FluxBox somewhere in your system. But wait, startx will not load your Fluxbox yet. Create/edit .xinitrc file located in your home directory.
vampire# cd ~/
vampire# edit .xinitrc
And write ' fluxbox ' in the .xinitrc file. Save and close it. Now you're good to go.
Enjoy your Fluxbox! Later.

no luck for me here. The different thing that i did was when at the installation part i typed 'make install clean'. And in .xinitrc i put
exec xterm&
exec fluxbox
any help appereciated
Umarzuki,
You might want to make sure that your .xinitrc is:
exec xterm &
instead of
exec xterm&
or:
exec fluxblox
xterm &
