Add Openbox to altdeski

Hello again. I'd like to install openbox by itself. I know it can be installed through terminal / synaptic, but as the Q4OS Setup page says, "the scripts take care about proper installation and configuration". My Xfce works perfectly because of these carefully crafted scripts, and I think if I were to install openbox from terminal / synaptic, something I'm not familiar with would be missing.

I don't want to install LXDE just to get openbox. Too much of a headache to get rid of the unwanted LXDE components.

Thanks for considering this option.

Re: Add Openbox to altdeski

Just wanted to add something here - realise that an awful lot of work goes into a distro and I am just sharing a thought pertaining to the above;

What about a 'lite' version of Q4OS with just a WM [and some tools] instead of a DE? I was thinking along the lines of PekWM or some such that could mimic the very flat look of Windows 10 [obviously some toolbar / menu tools would be needed] - sorry I haven't the skills [nor time currently] to help much on this idea however I do think that appearances make a difference.

This would make Q4OS the goto distro to replace WIndows 10 also smile
