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

+Then choose Fluxbox as your session and login with your regular user.

-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
-be necessary to edit your keys and/or menu files again to include those
-options.
+Once Fluxbox is running, it will look pretty plain. You should see a blank
+desktop with a toolbar at the bottom. You can then right-click anywhere on your
+desktop to bring up the menu. From there you should be able to start up any X
+applications you would like to run, or open up a terminal from which you can run

+This can also be done from the Fluxbox menu itself. There is usually an entry
