Adding new window manager to login list?

[Hired Goon]

I'm running Mandrake 9.1 with the KDE user login.

I just built and installed Fluxbox form source. Now, how do I make it available in my list of window managers that I see when I login?

Thank you.

Not to be rude, but have you used the search button at the top of the page to look for help? I searched for adding fluxbox to window manager and found these results (http://www.justlinux.com/forum/search.php?action=showresults&searchid=704000&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending). Here are two other links that will help you out. You might have to do a little bit of work since I use RedHat 9 and some of the discussions are about Suse and RedHat.

Search the fluxbox support forum at sourceforge, there's a thread there on how to do it.

I also posted it here somewhere specifically for MDK9.1
