-Every window manager has (or should have) a custom program used for launching |
| 60 |
-applications, without having to open a console and run the application from it. |
| 61 |
-Fluxbox's launcher is called <c>fbrun</c>, which is already installed. It could |
| 62 |
-be run it by typing <c>fbrun</c> at the command line, but running <c>fbrun</c> |
| 63 |
-from a console and then launch an application from it is even worse than |
| 64 |
-running the application itself from that console. That's why a keyboard |
| 65 |
-shortcut should be defined or an entry inserted into fluxbox's menu which |
| 66 |
-points to the <c>fbrun</c> command, or both. |
| 67 |
+Now you are ready to run Fluxbox for the first time. It will create a directory |
| 68 |
+called <path>~/.fluxbox/</path> in your home directory, which is where Fluxbox |
| 69 |
+stores all its settings, and populate it with some default values. |

-For more information, such as command line options, please read its manual page |

-by typing <c>man fbrun</c>. Remember that to use command-line options, it will |

| 98 |
-options. |

+Once Fluxbox is running, it will look pretty plain. You should see a blank |
| 100 |
+desktop with a toolbar at the bottom. You can then right-click anywhere on your |
| 101 |
+desktop to bring up the menu. From there you should be able to start up any X |
| 102 |
+applications you would like to run, or open up a terminal from which you can run |
| 103 |
+anything you like. |
