When you're logged in as root, ~ points to root's home directory (/root) instead of your regular username's home directory (/home/yourusername). So it's saying there's to .fluxbox directory in root's home directory.9 packages excluded due to repository protections
That number is usually much higher ... do you have protect=1 in yellowdog-base and yellowdog-updates?

How exactly do you stop gdm and start fluxbox? I can't said 'login manager' and obviously if I type GDM into the terminal it stops bc it is already running, and if I type fluxbox it doesn't work because I already have a window manager running
you won't be able to run root applications direct from the menu (well you can but you'll have to build gksu from source, which was a bit of a pain if memory serves) does that particular application have to be in root ? or are you always logged in as root, if so don't, set up a user account.i.e. " [exec] (NES) {/root/Desktop/NES/Battletoads.nes}
you can sort of, by running in run level 3 or set up auto loginHow exactly do you stop gdm
