I installed v9.1beta into virtualbox not long ago, choosing not to
add a desktop and therefore only have fluxbox available to me (no
complaint about a lack of warning, it was what I desired and did
with 20120622 previously). The trouble I discovered moments ago,
was when I needed to install Virtualbox Guest Additions (so that I
could avoid VESA in Virtualbox). I chose the guest additions and
attempted to have them installed, when a message warning me that i
did not choose a desktop. So in order to complete my original task
with system manager, I had to choose a desktop. Since I truly did
only want to have fluxbox, I discovered that I could use
pc-metapkgmanager to delete the unwanted desktop. That is the
background story.<br>
<br>
<b>I propose the following compromise:</b><br>
<br>
<ol>
<li> <u>During install:</u><br>
<ul>
<li>If no desktop is chosen a brief dialog: "Are you sure
you want fluxbox as your only desktop? y/n"</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
Depending on the choice, it will then indicate somewhere
for future reference, that it is ok that fluxbox is the
only desktop.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><u>In System Manager</u>: </li>
<ul>
<li>If no desktop is already installed, it does not "freak
out" or require the cli to affect the desired result.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>If a desktop is installed but de-selected, the same brief
dialog: "Are you sure you want fluxbox as your only desktop?
y/n"</li>
</ul>
</ol>
<p>In this way, both situations are covered but with the added
integrated 'documentation' of fluxbox's inclusion (as default).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks for all your time and efforts!<br>
</p>

Good idea! This is fixed now, since we are in code-freeze, I've just
removed the nag screen, so you can proceed without an extra desktop
now. It should now let you do a fluxbox only install just fine :)<br>
