Deprecated instructions for installing Enlightenment DR-17 from my debe17 repository.

Installing Enlightenment DR-17 from the edevelop repository.

Updated 17 February 2011.

Well it seems as though the edevelop repository is a hit or miss thing.  Sometimes it's up sometimes it's not.  Also as far as I can tell it is no longer being maintained.  Non the less, I have used it to install e17 on a fresh net-install of lenny and Sid on 12 Jan 09 ( I have not been able to install this way on etch).

NOTE: All instructions assume that you know how to install based on your user/root preference.

Step 1: Add the following to your sources.list file.

     deb http://www.edevelop.org/debian unstable main


Key: 03CA4243


Step 2: apt-get update



Step 3: apt-get install enlightenment



Step 4: Booting into e17.

Well I'm not going to tell an experienced debian user how to login to their system, but the command to start e17 is "enlightenment_start".  Any standard window display manager (KDM, GDM, XDM & WDM) should pick up e17 automaticlly, if not then one needs to configure their window display manager of choice by hand.  E17 does come with it's own window display manager called Entrance.  And last but not least, command line & startx or no window display manager at all.



Installing Enlightenment DR-17 from my debe17 repository.

Seems nobody wants to make a set of deb's for etch.  Well, I have, but they are really just a set of hacked up deb's I ot from the edevelop.org site (one day when it was up).

NOTE: All instructions assume that you know how to install based on your user/root preference.

Step 1: Add the following to your sources.list file.  Well eventhough my debs work, they are not for public consumption.  If you want to give them a try, come on over to Debian Users Forum and we will get you sorted.

They have been tested, by more then just me, and they work.  I built them on a Plane Jane eMachine, so some of you with more He-Man Woman Hater computers might have issues.
