Hey, Just installed damn small and am lovin it. Just have a problem with my mouse...I use xmodmap to map the buttons for a left handed person (which I am), is there a way to have fluxbox automatically run xmodmap at load, so I don't have to type the command every time I log in. I would also like to load a few wm panel applets at loadtime too. I'm new to Linux so if you could help me customize these issues I would be more than greatful.
Thanx in advance,
Nathan

Open /home/dsl/.xinitrc in a text editor, and have at it.
Applications such as dock apps which run continuously will need to have "&" added to the end of the line. Apps like xmodmap, which run then close on their own, do not need the &.
Anything added to this file should be above the "fluxbox" line, unless it's something you want to run after fluxbox closes or restarts.
