MX-Fluxbox

[dolphin_oracle]

I'll try to update the mx17/18 version tonight. I think I still have some stuff from fehlix to add too.

OK, everybody, I'm uploading version 1.1 now. Contains the correct menu items this time, and I added the shutdown etc. that you asked for in a submenu under "Leave." Still no translations though, sorry to say.

If you have things the way you want them, don't run the install off the menu. If you forget and do it, or if you change your mind, not to worry: your current folder will be saved as fluxbox_BAK and you can just restore it.

Thanks, Chris. BTW: could you cross-post your image where fluxbox looks like Windows 95? It raises a couple of interesting questions IMO.

AND: translations have now started in Transifex, so anybody who can help please jump in!

I likewise could not locate Flushbox in MX Package Installer using MX-17 Upgraded to MX-18, my everyday system.

sudo apt install mx-fluxbox

appears to work fine however.

[Jerry3904]

It appears that MX Package Installer has not been updated for MX-17 and -18.
