This is really great news!

Now, about installation:

Hypothesis 1 requires Hypothesis 2: once we have two RPMs for TinyX
and fluxbox, customizing slinky so it offers that option is a small
task. Note that I said two RPMS because graphic server and window
manager should not be merged together (as a general principle, that
is).

Concretely, I can build the fluxbox RPM. Pending instructions to the
contrary from Michael, I will just grab the latest stable version from
its web site, and package it for RH 9 with the default options.
(I'll have time to do it after may 7th, however)

TinyX is a different beast: I'll let Michael speak about packaging
that SW in RPM format, because I have not 100% clear yet which source
files should be uses, which compile options, etc...
