How to Uninstall Fluxbox?

[Renis17]

I'm extremely new to Linux (1 week) and i installed RH 9.0 and got sick of gnome pretty quickly. I decided to install fluxbox and that went ok. Only now I want to customize it. They suggest editing ~/.fluxbox/init however for some reason I do not have this file in .fluxbox, infact the directory is empty.

I wanted to uninstall fluxbox and try to re-install it, maybe I missed something the first time, then I noticed. I have no idea how to uninstall any applications in linux. I did not originally install it from an RPM. I looked through the documentation but haven't found anything on uninstalling it.

Are there any suggestions? Is there a basic way of uninstalling anything if they weren't installed via rpm to begin with? Sorry for sounding so naive.

Don't touch your Fluxbox :). As a regular user:

$ which fluxbox
will give you where is it, in my case it's /usr/local/bin/fluxbox
$ ls /usr/local
bin etc games include info lib man sbin share src
$ ls /usr/local/share/fluxbox
init keys menu nls styles
$ cp -R /usr/local/share/fluxbox/* ~/.fluxbox

I kinda had the same problem when I first installed it... ya gotta make sure you read the documentation or else you'll get a little lost... it tells you you need to copy certain files to the .fluxbox directory which you need to create in your home directory, then edit those files to suit your needs...

to uninstall however (which you dont really need 2 do), goto the source dir where you compiled fluxbox and enter 'make uninstall'

hope this helps
