Yes, but E does not include a file manager, panels, browser, or any of the other DE type things. Eventually E17 will include these. In the meantime you should use an E16.6 pre-release. This supports using the panels/fm from GNOME or KDE, so you can launch Konqueror or Nautilus or whatever. > I dont wanto to use a dead project. E16 is more active than it's been for years. > Will enlightenment come with the stable mandrake 9.2? I think Mandrake includes 16.5, which only supports GNOME 1.x and KDE 1.x. So you'll want to install 16.6 right away. > And were is the menu in enlightment that KDE and GNOME and ICEWM has? E16.6 includes tools to convert the new menu formats. Anything that installs standard menus for KDE3/GNOME2 should work once you use them. -- BAM - "What happens if you get scared half to death twice?" -- Steven Wright |
