How do I increase the time before fluxbox goes to screensaver? My screen goes all grey after about 10 minuets of no activity. I would like it to not do this.

| If you're not running xscreensaver (your're not by default) then "man xset" is what you need. It's a rather convoluted command though. To just disable blanking should be "xset -dpms" |

I was not running xscreensaver and this looks like exactly what I wanted. Did I read correctly, will I have to issue this command every time I reboot?

You would have to do that every time the xserver is started. If you have your own .xinitrc file you could add it to that, otherwise .Xclients would be the propper place.
E.g. .Xclients:

#!/bin/sh
xset -dpms &

You can also remove the directive:
from the "Monitor" section in your /etc/X11/XF86Config (if you have it there).
