Minimum ubuntu post-install recipe for fluxbox

To recap a former thread that I posted to this ML :
I've done a minimum install of ubuntu 14.04. This install can be
describe (as per ubuntu 12.04) at the following site:
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal

I believe this request could be considered outside of the venue of
this list, but I hope that some leeway could be considered, given
that I believe that many who use fluxbox do so on minimal
"hand-rolled" installation deployments. So I'll describe the process
as follows :

The minimum install for ubuntu 14.04 on this Asus EEEpc 900 does not
provide for x, window managers etc. 

The initial install went flawlessly. I then installed fluxbox
without a login manager and that seemed to go just fine. I then
decided that I sould have a backup window manager and then installed
icewm and xdm. I found that xdm did not appear to provide me with a
menu of sessions and that it seemed that I was stuck with icewm. 

I removed xdm, installed slim and to keep the story short, I ended
up with a mess. I believe it would best serve my interests by
re-installing.

>From the psychocats link above there is a "recipe" which can be
quickly found by doing a search on the following string : "At the
prompt, type these three commands" etc...

The commands for the "recipe" are provided as follows :

### begin commands
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install xorg xterm gdm icewm menu firefox gksu synaptic
--no-install-recommends

sudo service gdm start
### end commands

I would prefer to have *both* fluxbox and icewm as well as mc and
aptitude (in lieu of synaptic), but that is just me. I believe that
there are alternative login managers to gdm that still provide for
picking from any number of alternative wm sessions without the
"bulk" of gdm.

I would appreciate recommendations for an edited alternative to the
"recipe" above to suit my goal of having fluxbox with icewm as an
"backup" wm session and a basic but flexible login manager.

thanks
