I'm installing fluxbox, got it emerged.
I use KDE but want a back up in case a upgrade goes bad.
I want to select fluxbox in kdm when I login

Why not eschew Kdm altogether ? -- just use 'startx' + ~/.xinitrc :

Fluxbox mb the most under-rated piece of software in the Linux universe.
I'm only going to use fluxbox on occasion. I'm a KDE user for the most
part, all I have had for several years actually. Someone did post a way
to start fluxbox even if kdm won't start tho. I guess as long as X
works, I can start fluxbox to at least be able to use google, forums and
the mailing list for help.
That said, I do like some things about fluxbox. It is seriously fast.
I have a AMD 2500+ CPU with 2Gbs of ram so you can imagine how fast it
is. It's fast on a 400MHz machine with a small amount of ram much less
this rig. lol I may work on getting my slideshow to work on the
desktop background and who knows, may have a convert. ;-)
Thanks.
