Looking to use fluxbox with Trisquel 5

If I want to have fluxbox as my desktop manager is it just a matter of installing fluxbox from the repos and maybe changing the default session?
And is there any recommended format of Trisquel to use with fluxbox? Mini etc?
Ta.
Well, if no user of your computer wants another window manager, you neither need GNOME (in the regular Trisquel ISO) nor LXDE (in Trisquel Mini). You can start from the the NetInstall and install everything by hand (assuming you know how to use the apt-get command).
That said, a desktop is not only a window manager. The regular Trisquel offers applications such as:
* LibreOffice
* Firefox (re-branded as Abrowser)
* Totem (a video player)
* Exaile (a music player)
* Nautilus (to browse files)
* FileRoller (to compress and uncompress archives)
* Evince (a PDF reader)
* Evolution (a mail reader)
* GIMP (to edit raster images)
* Brasero (to burn CDs/DVDs)
, whereas Trisquel Mini has a more lightweight selection (in the same order as above and as far as I remeber):
* Abiword (text-processing only)
* Midori (Web browser using Webkit)
* MPlayer
* Audacious (a player à la Winamp... the old versions)
* Thunar (Xfce's file browser)
* Xarchiver
* ePDFViewer
* Sylpheed
* mtPaint
* Xfburn
If you like one of these two selections of software you had better install the related ISO, add Fluxbox and remove the unnecessary other window manager.
Ta for the detailed reply!
Now installing Trisquel 5 Gnome. Will look at adding fluxbox to the available sessions when installed.
