www.windowmaker.org (http://www.windowmaker.org) has some documentation.
Read the readme, faq, and install.

Windowmaker Website (http://www.windowmaker.org)

It's not that hard, i have windowmaker 7.0 running on redhat 7.2beta.

Good luck, and read carefully.

run your software manager, then type in the 'search' option ('installable' section) you type: window then you press enter (duh) and you'll see a list of things, check the box near windowmaker, and psuh install. Then it will ask you to install one of your cds; enter that cd and press ok. Whait until it is installed, and then logout. You will then see the login screen again, and you see there 'session type', their you select WindowMaker.
Thats it, I've made it as easy as possible, but if you still have a problem, I'll make a screenshot.. (i don't how new you are to linux etc)

Also once you get WindowMaker up & running you should try and install wmakerconf (do a search on google) for easy configuration.
