fluxbox installed fine but won't start in Slack 8.1

[angelfly91]

I downloaded it,untarred,and extracted it.I recently switched to Slack (previously Mandrake) and I had installed flu under mandrake perfectly by by editing the /etc/X11/kdm/Xsession but when I try it on Slack by editing the /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession then I use "startx fluxbox" it keep giving me the error that xterm received the invalid argument "fluxbox".I don't know why it's trying to start xterm but since it was I used the command "startx -e fluxbox" but I wanted to know how can I fix the problem with it starting xterm

in /root make .xinitrc file with the following

exec fluxbox
startx


later

[Vlad902]

make a .xinitrc file with:

exec fluxbox
startx

in your home directory. Then when you do startx fluxbox will load. if You remove .xinitrc then it will load what GUI you were using before...
