Ok, I installed net-install and did those commands and it looks like it installed ok... but nothing happens. I tried a reboot and still nothing... it just loads a whole lot of text then stops at a command prompt (after asking me to enter root login details) How do I start the fluxbox?

From the Fluxbox Wiki
Start fluxbox from the command line - Fluxbox-wikiCode:echo "exec startfluxbox" > ~/.xinitrc

You can use the startx command from the command line to start the xserver once you've created the .xinitrc file.

Make sure this line is in inittab
That should start you in a gui mode instead of command line modeCode:# The default runlevel is defined here id:5:initdefault:
