Hi ! I have installed the Ubuntu-Desktop 11.10. I want to remove the COMPLETE GUI so along with its all dependent apps. Is there anyway to do it? Later I will install FLUXBOX. And I want to keep only FLUXBOX on my system.

You would probably be better to use the the Ubuntu Minimal CD (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD) then add Fluxbox and whatever else you need.

Build up the system, rather then tear it down.

I also thought that to use minimal iso. But the problem is that it requires fast internet connection. I am just using GPRS

After spending almost 3-4 hours for waiting to download and install minimal ubuntu, it was not worth. I installed it in Virtual Box and After installation, It is just stuck on a black screen and blinking cursor on the top of the screen. What a pity....
any solution for this???
