You will need to get Openbox from http://slackbuilds.org/result/?search=openbox&sv=13.1 Rest is explained there. > Still no response to startx "command not found".

Barnabyh -- The general public is a bunch of morons who destroy the fun and life in everything it collectively touches. Disney is what the public wants. NASCAR is what the public wants. Windows is what the public wants. (Slashdot, Monday March 28 2005, Gnome Removed From Slackware.)

A whole lot of packages were missing: xinit, x/libX*, x/lib*, ... xinit now says "X: error while loading share libraries: libpixman-1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" But slackpkg doesn't find libpixman nor libpixman-1, ???

That library is provided by the 'pixman' package... (not 'libpixman' package). -- "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me". "Bother!" said Pooh, as the warp core breached.
