I update fluxbox with apt-get install, its working, and I removed slim, added wdm. The init files are wondering all over. root flux-menu was using the udated flux, no more admi/tool menu, users menu had both but admin/tools apps would not run. the term came up an after login term went away. So I copy user menu and pasted to root, and root menu works fine but still no user admin/tool.

Thinkpad 600e 366mhz 224mb 512swap its running good except for my menu deal.
here is my screen shot:

You probably need to remove the .xinitrc file in your home directory. (Copy it somewhere first though, just in case)
Also, for the MEPIS tools to appear, you have to add them by hand to your new fluxbox menu.
Root apps may not work from the menu if gksu got installed.
Again you need to edit the menu form su-c to gksu or something like that.

A lot of fiddling about, but hopefully worth it as you get to install almost only what YOU want.

Were is the file form?
funny the user menu has admin/tool and the root password comes up but just to exe the app, say mephis network utility. The password term just go's away

Sorry my typo.

The fluxbox menu needs to have something like this

[exec] (Msystem) {gksu msystem}
[exec] (synaptic) {gksu synaptic}
