Installing Fluxbox Without r00t
I know I've seen somewhere before how to do this, but for the life of me. I cannot remember where... So, what I want to do is install fluxbox on my account at my university, so that, when I'm in the computer lab there, I can use fluxbox. Obviously, I don't have root access, though. I think all I have to do is ./configure --prefix=something but I'm not really sure. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
n0tt00

You can install to your home directory by doing
You don't need special permissions to install sofrware to your home directory.Code:./configure --prefix=/home/username

Thanks alot. That's what I thought it would be, but I wanted to get some confirmation before I went and did it.

You'll probably also need to add that directory to your PATH environment variable
