I use netinst to do an expert install of Devuan on an SSD. The first
thing I do when I boot to the newly installed operating system is to
install xorg and fluxbox. However, the .fluxbox folder does not show
up in my user account. I can only conclude I messed up somewhere in
the installation and so now outline what I did.

I generally accepted defauts. The SSD was already partitioned and so I
had the partitioner simply format them, assign ext4 files system,
define mount points and labels for the partitions other than EF00 and
swap. I had eleven partititions because /var/mail and /usr/local are
broken out.

I added backports to fstab

For task selection, I un-selected desktop environment and xfce. I added
SSH.

I chose sysVinit

I booted to the newly installed opoerating system and the first thing
I did was to do # apt-get install xorg and # apt-get fluxbox. $ ls -la
/home/haines shows some hidden files, but not .fluxbox. There is a
/usr/bin fluxbox. My user in /home is haines it and has 755 permision.

I tried # apt-get -f reinstall firefox.

Where did I go wrong in the installation?
