<pre wrap=""> hi, I'm totally new to openbox. Hi everybody. I wanted to give
OpenBox a try today .. but it seems I would have to remove my current
window manager first (blackbox) .. and I don't want to jump into

You shouldn't have to uninstall Openbox at all. All you should have to do is
install Openbox and then edit your .xinitrc and change it from running
Blackbox to running Openbox. My .xinitrc currently looks like
#!/bin/sh
PATH=$PATH:/usr/kde/3.1/bin
#startkde &
#gnome-session &
gnome-panel &
#kicker &
exec openbox3
#exec openbox
In other words I've been messing around with a bunch of window managers and
what not. Blackbox and Openbox should work the same. Just comment out the
Blackbox stuff and replace it with Openbox stuff.

no, that's not what I mean; I'm trying to install the Mandrake openbox
rpm .. and it tells me it'll only install if I uninstall blackbox ...
weird :P<br>
